Submitted by admin on Mon, 2016-02-15 08:27

Q: How must be istikhara performed? Should the dua be read after two salams? Can the dua be read in my language, I can make mistakes in Arabic and also the text we add about the particular issue in the dua I know only in my language? Is it true that istikhara for one thing can be made up to 7 times or not more than 7 times?

A:

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. It can be made more than seven times.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
