Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I sleep after the Fajr prayer, and when I wake up for work at eight o'clock, I pray two rak'ahs. Are they the two rak'ahs of Duha or the two rak'ahs of Shuruq?
Answer:
Shuruq is Duha. The minimum for Duha is two rak'ahs. Whatever you pray after the sun has risen until it stands at its zenith is all Duha. Is there a maximum or a minimum? Yes, it is all safe for him. The people's practice of it is a charity, until he said: "And two rak'ahs suffice for that; pray them in the Duha." If one sits in his place of worship after Fajr, remembering Allah until the sun rises, and then prays two rak'ahs, this is the Duha prayer. People call it the prayer of Shirk, but this is the Duha prayer. Yes.
