Question:
Is istikharah performed for the person himself, and is it possible to perform istikharah on behalf of a brother? What is the method of istikharah?
Answer:
Istikharah is for the person himself; he does not perform it for another, but only for himself. If he intends to do something and is unsure whether to proceed with it or not, he prays two rak'ahs that are not part of the obligatory prayer, then he makes the supplication of istikharah for himself, not for another.
