Once a manner of istekhara was published in Ubqari. It was to offer two nafil salat and keep repeating [space for Arabic text] while reciting surah Fateha. I also do this istekhara. In case of benefit, the head or foot turns to right side and in case of harm, the head or foot turns to left side. I did it for many tasks and it has always been successful. (M. Multan)
