The answer

The Sunnah does not specify reciting a particular surah after Al-Fatihah in the Istikhara prayer; rather, the Muslim recites whatever is easy for them from the Quran. Al-Iraqi mentioned that he did not find anything indicating a specific recitation in the hadiths of Istikhara, and the Hanbalis and some jurists agreed with this opinion. Furthermore, Sheikh Ibn Baz, the Permanent Committee, and Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen stated that the worshipper recites Al-Fatihah and whatever is easy from the Quran, without specifying a particular surah.
