When to make the Istikhaarah Supplication
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is the istikhaarah supplication to be made in the prostration (position during the istikhaarah prayer) or after completing the (istikhaarah) prayer?
Response:
The istikhaarah supplication is to be done upon completing the two units of (istikhaarah) prayer, as the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:
«...then let him pray two supererogatory units [two rak'ah naafilah] of prayer and after which he should supplicate...» [From the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn 'Abdullaah (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhu) as transmitted by al-Bukhaaree]
...and then he (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) mentioned the (istikhaarah) supplication.
Shaykh Ibn `Uthaymeen
