Question:
I heard about the prayer of the penitents (Salat al-Awabin) which is prayed after the Maghrib prayer. Is this prayer prescribed or not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The prayer after Maghrib, between it and 'Isha', is recommended (mustahabb). It has great virtue, and it is part of the night prayer. It is described as the prayer of the penitents (Salat al-Awabin). Likewise, the Duha prayer is described in the authentic hadith as the prayer of the penitents, and that is when the young camels are scorched by the heat, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, meaning when the heat of the sun appears on the surface of the earth. So the Duha prayer at this time is better. Yes.
