Question:
What is the virtue of the Dhuha prayer? And is it permissible to pray the four rak'ahs before the midday prayer after finishing the Dhuha prayer?

Answer:
The Dhuha prayer is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice) and it has great virtue, because the time between the dawn prayer and the midday prayer is a long period in which people are negligent. If one prays the Dhuha prayer, he has returned to his Lord (Mighty and Majestic) and occupied part of the time with the remembrance of Allah, and the interval between the two prayers—the dawn prayer and the midday prayer—has not become too long for him. This prayer has a great reward because it is in a time when people are negligent due to the length of the time between the dawn prayer and the midday prayer. And because of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "The prayer of the penitents is when the young camels are scorched by the heat," meaning the Dhuha prayer. He called it the prayer of the penitents, and this is praise for those who pray the Dhuha prayer. And it is better to delay it until the heat of the sun descends upon the earth in the last part of the Dhuha time. If one prays it in the first part of the Dhuha time, there is no harm. It is a great prayer, and a prayer with a great reward. Its minimum is two rak'ahs, and its maximum is eight rak'ahs, every two rak'ahs with a taslim (closing salam), in pairs. As for the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) before the midday prayer, they are not prayed except after the time of the midday prayer has entered, so they are not prayed before the time of the midday prayer enters. Yes.
