Do the two rak'ahs of the sunrise prayer count as the two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If a person sits in his place of prayer after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises and becomes the height of a spear, then prays two rak'ahs, do these two rak'ahs count as the two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer, or are they specific to this act of worship?

Answer:
They count as the Duha prayer; because the minimum for the Duha prayer is two rak'ahs, and the maximum is eight, so these two rak'ahs count as the Duha prayer, if Allah wills. Yes.
