The questioner:
The opinion is that if the sun has set, he must pray, so the intended meaning is the prayer. It contains greatness and it contains good, and every prayer.
The Shaykh:
This is known only by the people of calculation. The time of solar noon is when the sun is in the middle of the sky, and a shadow remains that they call the time of solar noon, especially when the sun tilts toward the south in the winter or toward the north in the summer, there is a shadow due to the sun’s tilt from the heads to the right or to the left. This is called the tilt of solar noon, and it is known only by the people of calculation who estimate it.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Friday is like any other day. The time for the Duha prayer is from the rising of the sun until the sun reaches the middle of the sky. This is the time for the Duha prayer.
