Does salaat al istikhara works when you are not neutral and could you get an answer even before you say the duaa?
Answer
Salaatul Istikhaara is performed when one is in a doubt and is unable to make a decision.
If one has made a decision and is sure of it, then there is no need to perform Salaatul Istikhaara. One should be neutral during performing Salaatul Istikhaara. If one fears not being neutral, he/she may request another person to perform Salaatul Istikhaara on his/her behalf.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
