The presenter:
We begin this episode with the first call from our brother Naif from al-Taif. Please, go ahead.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Listen.
The questioner:
Your Excellency, Shaykh Salih bin Fawzan al-Fawzan, I actually have two questions, and I am in a hurry. The first question, Your Excellency the Shaykh, regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the Prayer of Ishraq, or the prayer after the Fajr prayer: what is its ruling, what is its virtue, and what is its time? Your Excellency the Shaykh, this is the first question.
The presenter:
And the second.
The questioner:
The second question, Your Excellency the Shaykh: if a Muslim servant seeks forgiveness from Allah the Mighty and Majestic for his sins and major sins, will Allah the Mighty and Majestic hold him accountable for them on the Day of Resurrection, or if he seeks forgiveness from Allah, does Allah the Blessed and Exalted forgive him his sins and major sins in this world?
The presenter:
Thank you, Naif. May Allah bless you. Please, Shaykh, regarding his first question: he asks about the Prayer of Ishraq. Is there a Prayer of Ishraq? Does it have a ruling? And does it have a specific time?
The Shaykh:
There is also the Duha prayer, and its time begins when the sun rises the length of a spear until the time of the Zuhr prayer enters. When the sun has passed its zenith, the time for the Duha prayer ends. Its minimum is two rak'ahs; its minimum is two rak'ahs, and its maximum is eight rak'ahs, with a taslim after every two rak'ahs. Yes.
