The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. Regarding voluntary prayers, if a person, for example, prays four rak'ahs of Dhuha...
The Shaykh : If it is what?
The questioner : If a person prays four rak'ahs of Dhuha and misses it on a day, should he make it up?
The Shaykh : It appears to me that voluntary prayers, other than the rawatib and the witr, are not made up. That is, nothing is made up from the voluntary prayers except what the Sunnah has specified.
Also, you told me four rak'ahs of Dhuha. I do not know if you mean with one salam or two?
The questioner : With two salams.
The Shaykh : With two salams, yes. The minimum Sunnah for Dhuha is two rak'ahs. It begins when the sun has risen the length of a spear and ends just before the midday time. Its best time is the end of the time, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 748a.
