Question:
May Allah reward you. Sister Umm 'Abd al-Rahman from Makkah, please go ahead, Sister Umm 'Abd al-Rahman. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Shaykh, I want to know the time of the Prayer of the Penitents and its virtue. All right, Shaykh, when does the Prayer of the Penitents begin, and what is its virtue?
Answer:
The Prayer of the Penitents is the Duha prayer. The time for the Duha prayer begins when the sun has risen the height of a spear and ends when the sun is directly overhead, just before the midday prayer. The later it is, the better it is. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 748a meaning when the earth becomes scorching hot and it is difficult for the young camels to walk on it. Yes.
