What is the best time for the Dhuha prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the one who sat in his place of worship and then prayed two rak'ahs, which were recorded for him as a Hajj and 'Umrah, should he pray two more after that as the Dhuha sunnah, or is that sufficient?
Answer:
If he prays it as an addition, there is nothing wrong with it. The minimum for the Dhuha sunnah is two rak'ahs. If he prays four, or even eight, that is all good. One prays Dhuha in his house. When the heat of the day becomes intense, it is better to add to it. When the heat of the day becomes intense, that is around ten o'clock, meaning one or two hours before the midday prayer, that is better. And that is the Dhuha sunnah; its minimum is two rak'ahs. If he prays it at sunrise, it is called the Dhuha sunnah, and the common people call it the Ishraq sunnah.
