QUERY : What is the difference between Salah al Isthikharah & Salah al Hajah ? Is there any proof Quran and Sunnah for these prayers? Explain.

ANSWER IN BRIEF :

Holy Quran commands us to seek Allah's help through patience and Salah through Verse No 45 of Surah al Baqarah.This command is general and we may ask for Allah's help through patience and prayers for any of our permitted/halaal needs.

In respect of Salah al Isthikharah (Salah seeking goodness in some particular affair/job/thing), there is Sahihu /authentic Hadith as proof and there is a specially prescribed post-Salah
supplication/duaa for this purpose.

REGARDING Salah al haajath( Salah to fullfil one particular permitted need) there is no authentic hadith. The Hadith is weak /da'eef as commented by Imam Thirmudhi himself who reported the Hadith( as one of the reporter of the chain is weak).But it should be noted that, though the Hadith is weak/da'eef, it is not moudoo'a/fabricated.Also we may bear in mind that seeking Allah's help in all our needs through patience and Salah, is a command to us in Holy Quran , and hence the principle of Salah al hajath is in consonance with the teaching of Holy Quran.
