Sitting in the mosque after Fajr until sunrise and praying the two rak'ahs of Ishraq

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about sitting in the mosque after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, and about praying the two rak'ahs. He asks whether calling them the two rak'ahs of Ishraq is correct, or whether they are the two rak'ahs of Duha, and whether they are equivalent to a 'Umrah or not.

Answer:
Yes, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that whoever sits in his place of prayer after Fajr, remembering Allah until the sun rises and then rises higher, and then prays two rak'ahs, that this is with the reward of a complete 'Umrah or Hajj. And the favor of Allah is vast, Glorified and Exalted is He; His good is abundant. We do not consider the reward and recompense from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to be too much. As for the naming, the matter is easy. It is called the Duha prayer, it is called the Ishraq prayer. The naming is an easy matter; there is no harm in that. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
