Virtues, description, and recitation method of THE TIME OF ISTIKHARAH as recorded in Shia traditions.
THE TIME OF ISTIKHARAH
In his book of Taqwim al-Muhsinin, al-Muhaddith al-Kashani
has mentioned special times in the week for practicing
Istikharah with the Glorious Qur'an, stating that these special
times have been specified according to what is familiarly
known by people, yet I have not found any tradition reported
from the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) in this respect.
On Sundays, the suitable time for Istikharah is from the
beginning of the day up to the noon and then from the
afternoon up to sunset.
On Mondays, the suitable time is from the beginning of the
day up to sunrise, from lunchtime to noon, and from
afternoon to later evening.
On Tuesdays, the suitable time is from lunchtime to noon
and from afternoon to later evening.
On Wednesdays, the suitable time is from the beginning of
the day up to noon and from afternoon to later evening.
On Thursdays, the suitable time is from the beginning of the
day up to sunrise and from noon up to later evening.
On Fridays, the suitable time is from the beginning of the day
up to sunrise and from midday (zohr) to afternoon.
On Saturdays, the suitable time is from the beginning of the
day up to lunchtime and from midday (zohr) to afternoon.
This table is quoted from the versified book of al-Madkhal by
al-Muhaqqiq al-Tusi, may Allah purify the soil of his grave.
