The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : It is known, O honorable Shaykh, that the time for the Duha prayer arrives while I am at work. I am a teacher, and during the break and in my free time, one of the brother teachers told me: It is not permissible for you to perform voluntary prayers during working hours. Another said: It is permissible for you to perform voluntary prayers, at least two rak'ahs. Even though I am in the break—meaning: in my free time—what is the ruling on my action?
The Shaykh : You may pray as long as you are in the break, whether two rak'ahs, four rak'ahs, or more, because you are not neglecting anything obligatory upon you. As for a person who leaves the classroom to pray the Duha prayer, that is forbidden. But a person who does not have a class, either because he is in a long break or because he is in a period where he is not teaching, he may pray and read the Qur'an, and he may read a book and write. Yes.
