Question

Is it permissible to go against Istikhara if you want something like buying a house, and Istikhara shows that buying the house is not good, but you specifically want this house and cannot go against Istikhara because it may harm you? Should you give charity and then buy the house, or charity may not remove the harm because some say that whoever goes against Istikhara will not succeed in life, and charity will not remove the harm? Or is it better to take Istikhara again in case it turns out good?

Ayatullah Bashir Hussain al-Najafi · Accepted Answer

In the name of Allah, it is not permissible to do Istikhara twice for the same matter, as the wise person, when seeking advice from a wise person, should not seek advice again if the wise person advises against it. Allah is the Guide.
