 * Asking for divine forgiveness is considered to be an attribute of the pious people.
-==Istighfar: recommended, obligatory, and forbidden==
+==Istighfar: Recommended, Obligatory, and Forbidden==
 Although istighfar is recommended ([[mustahab]]) in itself, it is under certain circumstances obligatory or forbidden. Thus there are three jurisprudential rulings for istighfar:
-'''* Recommended istighfar: ''' since istighfar counts as the best worship, it is particularly recommended in the following cases: between the two [[prostrations]] ([[sajda]]s) of the [[prayer]]; after [[al-tasbihat al-arba'a]]; in [[qunut]], especially the qunut of the [[watr prayer]]; during the dawn ([[sahar]]); for a dead person in his or her funeral, burial and visiting his or her grave; in [[rain prayers]]; in the [[Ramadan]] month; for not doing some traditions such as istighfar for hurting oneself as a [[kaffara]].

+#after [[al-tasbihat al-arba'a]];

+#for a dead person in his or her funeral, burial and visiting his or her grave;
+#in [[rain prayers]];
+#in the [[Ramadan]];
+#for not doing some traditions such as istighfar for hurting oneself as a [[kaffara]].
-'''* Obligatory istighfar: ''' one case in which istighfar is obligatory is [[hajj]]; when the [[muhrim]] engages in a quarrel or commits a vice less than three times. Another case is when one is required to give a kaffara (the emancipation of a slave, fasting for two months or providing food or clothes for 60 people in need) but one cannot provide any of them. It is said that if one cannot provide the kaffara for [[zihar]], then istighfar will be obligatory, though there is a dispute over the issue. It is a matter of controversy whether istighfar is obligatory in saying prayers for a dead person as well as istighfar for a person about whom one has committed [[ghiba]] (or backbiting).
