Question: How is salat ul-Istikhara prayed? Is it meant to be prayed several days in a row until a decision is made, or only once? Is it meant to be prayed after one has pretty much made up their mind, or when someone hasn’t really figured out what to do?
Are their various valid opinions?
Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
The istikhara prayer is a very simple prayer of seeking guidance.
- One prays two rakats at any time that is not disliked, after which one recites the supplication of istikhara.
- It is best to recite it before sleeping, though in no way necessary.
- Like other duas, it is recommended that one face the qibla.
- It is recommended to open the dua of istikhara, with praise of Allah and sending blessings on the Prophet ﷺ and to close it in this manner, too.
- It is disliked to ‘hasten’ in seeking the answer to one’s istikhara, like other duas, because the Prophet ﷺ said, “Your prayers are answered, unless you hasten, saying, ‘I prayed, but no answer came.’”
