Assalmaualeakum w.w Istikharah is done when a person is not sure about something and seeks guidance from allah. Is that correct? For instance if a proposal comes and you like the person is there a need to do istikharah. JAZAKALLAH


A person may like/desire something and not know whether it is good for him/her for the sake of their Deen. Allah knows best in all matters. The heart/mind can tell you one thing and Shaytaan is always working on the Nafs. Istikhaarah is to seek guidance in all matters and for Allah (swt) to open up a simple, easy and Islamic way of reaching a target or leaving a matter completely.

And Allah knows best.
Ulamaa
