Is istikharah necessary when unsure about a proposal or decision?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalmaualeakum w.w
Istikharah is done when a person is not sure about something and seeks guidance from allah. Is that correct?
For instance if a proposal comes and you like the person is there a need to do istikharah.

JAZAKALLAH

Answer

A person may like/desire something and not know whether it is good for him/her for the sake of their Deen. Allah knows best in all matters. The heart/mind can tell you one thing and Shaytaan is always working on the Nafs. Istikhaarah is to seek guidance in all matters and for Allah (swt) to open up a simple, easy and Islamic way of reaching a target or leaving a matter completely.

And Allah knows best.
