The Difference Between the Prayer of Ishraq and the Prayer of Duha

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question, Your Excellency the Shaykh: Is there really a difference between the prayer of Ishraq and the prayer of Duha, or are the two prayers one and the same? I hope you could clarify that, Your Excellency the Shaykh?

Answer:
No, the prayer is one and the same, whether you call it the prayer of Duha or the prayer of Ishraq. "Prayer of Ishraq" is a common term.
(peace and blessings be upon him) [the prayer of] the returners when the young camels are scorched by the heatصلى الله عليه وسلم صلاة الأوابين حين ترمض الفصال
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2:853
So delaying it is better. If you perform it earlier, after the sun has risen, there is nothing wrong with that. Its time begins from when the sun has risen the height of a spear until the sun reaches the zenith of the sky. All of this is the time for the prayer of Duha. Yes.
