The Time of the Duha Prayer and Its Virtue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The last question is from our brother Abu Yasin 'Abdullah, a person of favor from Yemen. He asks: What is the time for the Duha prayer? And does one sin if he is negligent in it or leaves it?
The Shaykh:
He does not sin, but the Duha prayer is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice). If he prays it, he has a great reward, and if he leaves it, he owes nothing. Yes.
The questioner:
And what is its time?
The Shaykh:
Its time is when the sun rises and ascends the height of a spear. When the sun has ascended the height of a spear, he prays the Duha prayer. Yes.
The questioner:
And when does it end?
The Shaykh:
It ends with the entry of the time for the Zuhr prayer.
