Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, this questioner says: Is the prayer before the sun reaches its zenith prescribed as the Sunnah of the Zenith, unlike the prayer of Dhuha?
Answer:
The zenith has no sunnah, my brothers. The Duha prayer extends from the rising of the sun until just before the zenith. As for the time of the zenith, it is forbidden. It is not permissible. It is not permissible to pray at the time of the zenith. The time when the sun is directly overhead. When the sun passes the zenith, the time for the Dhuhr prayer begins. You pray the obligatory prayer and you pray a voluntary prayer. Because the time of prohibition has passed. The time of prohibition here is when the sun is directly overhead. When it moves toward the west and the shadow begins to point toward the east, the time of prohibition ends and prayer becomes permissible, whether obligatory or voluntary. Yes.
