Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: When does the time for the Duha prayer end according to the current time known to people? And what is the maximum number of its rak'ahs?

Answer:
The time for the Duha prayer ends with the entry of the time for the midday prayer, when the sun passes its zenith. It ends when the sun passes its zenith. In fact, when the sun is in the middle of the sky, directly overhead, prayer is forbidden at this time. Even if it is a short time, prayer is forbidden when the sun is directly overhead. Ah. So one prays the Duha until the sun is in the middle of the sky; that is the end. The maximum number of rak'ahs is eight, every two with a salam. Yes.
