A query about Istikharah..

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

I have a question about istikharah. From what I know, istikharah refers to seeking guidance from Allah(swt) on issues. As far as I know, that's the correct way.
I had some "Imam saying to read Istikharah, but without it's du'a for 3 nights straight and then you will "see" who has done "black magic" on you.

I didn't buy any of it right then and there. How can you do Istikharah without the du'a? And wat he said doesn't fit in the category of Istikharah. It doesnt make sense at all, sounds really odd..

Is it wrong what he said?

JazakAllah Khair in advance.

You need a scholar to solve this issue. But here are the things I am confused about regarding that Imams saying. First of,how can you 'see' who has done black magic on you? Secondly,Istikarah prayer is the concept of praying for the guidance and asking dua,if thats so then how can an Ishtikarah prayer be complete without you making dua?

Some side questions: How well do you know this Imam? Can you ask another local Imam regarding these questions to see if that Imam has said anything authentic or not?

Allah knows the best.

Sister I dont mean to sound disrespectful but this is Islam not a harry potter film, black magic is of no consequance to an active muslim surely.

Lol no offense taken akhi. I'm just asking. I already know it's nonsense...makes me wonder how much ignorance is prevalent. I know this is completely ridiculous and that this is NOT Istikharah. Astaghfirullah. I already know what Istikharah is for alhamdulillah.

Allahu Must'aan.
