*''' 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). | *''' 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.
