Question

I would like to know whether there is any time limit to perform isthikhaarah namaaz, what is the latest time we can pray isthikhaarah namaaz?

Answer

There is no time limit to performing Istikhara Namaaz however you cannot pray during the three forbidden times Sunset, sunrise, and Zawaal (1. Sunrise is when the first portion of the sun can be seen on the eastern horizon. It ends when the entire ball of the sun has become visible. Sunset is when the ball just touches the western horizon, and ends when the entire ball has disappeared. Zawaal is when the sun is at its highest point, i.e. when the shadow of an object reaches its shortest length) and you can pray it as late as you want up until Fajr time.

And Allah knows best.
