Praying two rak'ahs of the istikhaarah prayer for two separate issues
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it correct to pray the two rak'ahs for the istikhaarah (prayer) for two separate issues?

Response: You should pray two rak'ahs for the istikhaarah (prayer) for something specific, then you should pray (another two rak'ahs for) the istikhaarah (prayer) for another matter; This, also being in addition to the (istikhaarah) supplication, and two rak'ahs (for the istikhaarah prayer) are not sufficient for two separate issues.
