Question

I performed Salah-al-Istikharah for 7 days but still I haven't got any answer nor guidance for what I asked. Can i perform the salah again till I get an answer? If yes, after how much time from the first time I performed the salah(that is how much time after the first 7 days). Can it be performed at any time during the day or last thing at night before sleeping?

Answer

There is no time and time limit for performing Istikhaara.

Istikhaara should be continued until one is confident of the decision based on the pure feeling in the heart after making Istikhaara.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
