Is it permissible for someone to perform Salatul-Istikhara on my behalf?
No one is permitted to perform the Istikharah prayer on behalf of another, even if authorized to do so. This is because Istikharah is performed by the person who intends to undertake a matter and is personally concerned with it. It is not valid when performed by proxy.
