Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Are the two rak'ahs of shuruq the same as the two rak'ahs of duha?
Answer:
There are no rak'ahs for shuruq; it is not permissible for you to pray for shuruq. It is not permissible to pray when the sun is rising or when it is setting. This is the sunnah of duha, and its minimum is two rak'ahs. Its time begins when the sun has risen the length of a spear until it reaches the middle of the sky, which is the time of the midday prayer.
