\n\tQuestion:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI would like to know if you should do Istekhara for health treatments like surgery that doctors say is necessary. I did Istekhara for my knee replacement and it was a no. So I cancelled it. Alhamdulillah, I am walking well without any pain and now I'm also exercising. One Aalim told his relative you should not do istekhara for things the doctors recommend as they are experts. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI <\/span><\/span>have always done Istekhara for my cancer treatment and Alhamdulillah Allah Ta’ala has guided me. I'm recovering well. Please, can you clarify this for me? Jazakumullahu <\/span><\/span>khairan<\/span><\/span>.  Wassalam.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIstikh\u0101rah<\/i> is only done for actions which are of a mub\u0101\u1e25<\/i> (permissible) nature, such as when to travel, what to buy or which house to purchase etc. It is not done for actions which are far\u1e0d<\/i> or w\u0101jib<\/i> (obligatory), nor in deciding whether or not to perform \u02bfib\u0101dah<\/i> (worship), one may decide when it is the best moment for performing a voluntary act of worship through istikh\u0101ra<\/i> (such as when to travel to \u02bfumrah<\/i> etc.). Keeping in mind that performing good actions as soon as possible is desired and istikh\u0101rah<\/i> is not required for every matter within a person life. The Prophet SAW has said, “when one of you is troubled by a matter (in another narration: when you want to decide a matter) then he should perform two raka\u02bf\u0101ts<\/i>, then ask All\u0101h SWT (with the du\u02bf\u0101<\/i> of istikh\u0101rah<\/i>).”[1]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/a>As for the treatments regarding your health, you should listen to the advice of your trusted doctor as they are knowledgeable of what is needed for your wellbeing. Taking care of one’s health is far\u1e0d<\/i> and should not be taken lightly. The word of a trusted, reputable doctor is sufficient in this regard.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
