The Number of Rak'ahs in the Duha Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
All right, may Allah reward you, our Shaykh, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. This is a woman asking, and she says: I am eager to pray the Dhuha prayer and I pray two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs. One of the sisters told me that I may add more than two rak'ahs. Is this correct?

Answer:
The Duha prayer is at least two rak'ahs and at most eight rak'ahs, with a taslim after every two rak'ahs. This is its maximum, and its minimum is two rak'ahs. Yes.
