Is the hesitation and confusion after repeatedly performing Salatul-Istikhara regarding the decision to retire considered a result of Istikhara?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Hesitation in retiring after performing and resolving to do so might be a diversion from Allah. You should do what your heart feels at ease with after Istikhara, whether it's retiring or not, and abandon what you feel aversion towards. For indeed, goodness lies in what you have done, Allah willing, as long as you have sought guidance from Allah.
