Aksar Poochay Jane Wale Sawalat
Can someone else perform istikhara for me?
The Sunnah is to perform istikhara yourself, and we always teach you how. Many scholars also permit asking a pious person to make dua and istikhara on your behalf, which we do on request.
How long does an online istikhara take?
Usually 24–72 hours depending on the question. Urgent family matters are prioritised.
Do I need to see a dream after istikhara?
No. A dream is not required. Guidance often comes as ease, inclination of the heart, or the matter becoming easy or difficult.
