Is the Duha prayer limited to eight rak'ahs?

The questioner : Adding it to the Duha indicates that one cannot add a prayer to the Duha. If we say the Duha prayer, and we take the other view that one prays more than three, it does not go beyond the ruling on the Duha prayer.

The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah. All right.

The questioner : Just as the Companions on Friday used to pray until the faith was completed.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.

The questioner : They pray until the imam comes for the Friday prayer. If they had done this on days other than Friday, it would have been a glad tidings, which indicates that it is limited to eight.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct, because you can pray eight rak'ahs before the sun reaches its zenith. What matters to us is the rak'ah.

The questioner : If we have gone beyond the Duha, then.

The Shaykh : No, it has become a time for you, from the rising of the sun until just before the zenith. Its time is broad. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The prayer of the penitents is when the young camels feel the heat of the day."
