A: There were narrations that explained the idea of Istikhara which is seeking
goodness from almighty Allah when deciding to do a thing. This kind of
Istikhara is common in the narrations. Books of narrations and
supplications have explained certain ways to do the Istikhara.
Yes, it has been reported that Istikhara becomes the way to choose the right
position in cases of hesitance and uncertainty in finding out the best choice for
a person. These narrations did not specify the person that must do the
Istikhara, so anyone is allowed to do it for him/herself or to others.
There are no specific conditions to the Istikhara but it is suppose to be
done when the right choice is lost and there is no meaning to repeat it
after it has been done. |
