Explanation concerning Ṣalātul Istikhārah:
366

- By law (Ḥukm), ṢalātIstikhārah is sunnah.

- ṢalātIstikhārah may be undertaken at any time whatsoever, day

or night, after obligatory ṣalāt or before it.
- The dufiā√ for Istikhārah is carried out after ṣalātul Istikhārah.

- Any Sūrah may be recited after Sūrah Al Fātiḥah because there
is no dalīl that establishes a particular Sūrah.

- There is no explanation that whenever a person has finished

ṣalāt ‘he’ will dream, see something, or open their hearts.

- It is clear that Istikhārah is fiibādah, and fiibādah must be

(performed with) ikhlāṣ and in accordance with the example of

365 SūrahĀl fiImrān (3), ayāh 159.
