What should one do after performing Istikhara concerning divorce when the vision remains unclear, and what is the ruling of Sharia on performing Istikhara for divorce?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to seek divorce unless there is harm. Dreams are not reliable, and no rulings are based on them. Whoever seeks guidance from Allah (performs ) should then put their trust in Him, for what is good will be made easy by Allah. Istikhara is not performed for something forbidden or for abandoning an obligation.
