The Prayer of the Penitents: Is it the Dhuha prayer, or is it those units of prayer between Maghrib and 'Isha'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good, Shaykh. Is the Prayer of the Penitents the Dhuha prayer, or is it those units of prayer that some people perform between Maghrib and 'Isha'?
The Shaykh:
It is, according to the well-known view, the Dhuha prayer when the young camels are scorched by the heat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 748a This means from the end of the Dhuha time and the descent of the sun's heat, or the first heat of the sun on the earth. This is the Dhuha prayer. Likewise, regarding the time between Maghrib and 'Isha, it is reported that the Prayer of the Penitents is in it, for whoever performs voluntary prayer in this time.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. So it is applied to the voluntary prayer in these two places?
The Shaykh:
But the first place is more famous and preferred, which is the Dhuha.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

The prayer of those who are penitent is observed when your weaned camels feel the heat of the sun.
