What is the ruling on abandoning medical college after performing الاستخارة (Istikhara) prayer concerning it, and does the questioner bear any sin for that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you sought Allah's guidance through Istikhara and then were unable to complete your studies at the first college and transferred to a second, you bear no sin. Rather, perhaps this is what Allah chose for you, and it is good, for Allah decrees nothing but good for a Muslim. Persist in performing Istikhara in all your affairs.
