Question:
May Allah be sufficient for you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) to be consistent in praying the two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer?
Answer:
The two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer are a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice). However, one should not pray it every day; rather, one should pray it one day and skip the next, one day and skip the next, so that people do not assume it is an obligatory prayer. If one leaves it off, they will know it is not obligatory. Yes.
