When should istikhaara be done?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can you please tell me the ruling of offering Salaatul istikhaara. I have heard some scholars telling that it should be offered after you have decided to do the task/work. But it is generally said that it should be offered before doing any work. Can you please guide me?

Bismillaah

A: Istikhaara means to seek goodness from Allah Ta’ala. Therefore istikhaara salaah can be performed at both times.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
