The Ruling on Praying the Duha Prayer in Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek refuge in Allah. My colleague and I went to the mosque at the time of the four rak'ahs for the prayer of sustenance. Should we pray in congregation, or should each of us pray individually?
Answer:
No, no, do not pray the Duha prayer in congregation; that is what has been transmitted. Each person should pray individually. Yes. Because some scholars say that if this is not a committed practice, but rather they sometimes gather and pray a voluntary prayer, there is no harm, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for Umm Sulaym in her house, and Anas and an orphan prayed behind him, and Umm Sulaym prayed behind him. This is permissible if done occasionally without commitment or regularity. However, committing to it and making it a regular habit is not permissible. Yes.
