Is it from the Sunnah to be consistent in performing the Duha prayer and the Witr prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it from the Sunnah, Honorable Shaykh, to be consistent in performing the Duha prayer and the Witr prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is from the Sunnah to be consistent in performing both. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave the Witr prayer, whether resident or traveling. Rather, he commanded it and said: "Make the last of your prayers at night Witr."
As for the Sunnah of the Duha prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated its consistency in his statement: "Every morning, a charity is due for every joint of a person. Every day the sun rises, a charity is due for every joint of a person." He mentioned types of charity. And he informed (peace and blessings be upon him) that two rak'ahs of Duha suffice for this.
Two rak'ahs performed from the Duha prayer. This indicates the recommendation of being consistent in the Duha prayer. And his statement "on every joint of a person is a charity" means that every joint of the human body has a charity due for it. The human body has three hundred and sixty joints, as that hadith came in what Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated in his Sahih.
The questioner : And what is the minimum number of rak'ahs for the Duha prayer, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The minimum is two rak'ahs. There is no limit to its maximum.
The presenter : O Allah, to You is praise. May Allah reward you. Is there anything else from the sisters? May Allah reward you with good. And you as well?
