كيف نصلي الاستخارة

It should be noted that the istikharah may be performed by a Muslim before or after counseling. A group of scholars said that it is performed before consultation, and others have said that it is performed after consultation, and it was said that it should not be linked to the time of consultation, so there is nothing wrong with it if it was before or after that.

As for the disliked times; That is, after the Fajr prayer and after the Asr prayer, it was forbidden to perform the prayer during it, unless it was due to an urgent matter that might miss these times.
