Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is the Prayer of Ishraq congregational or individual? And is it performed quietly or openly?
Answer:
No, there is no Prayer of Ishraq. The Prayer of Duha is the Prayer of Duha. The Prayer of Duha is not congregational; there is no report that it is prayed in congregation. Congregational prayer is only reported for the eclipse prayer, the Tarawih prayer, the festival prayer, and the prayer for rain. That is what has been reported regarding congregational prayer. As for gathering for the Prayer of Duha after the obligatory prayers, there is no basis for that. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
