The Lawfulness of the Duha Prayer and the Time for Performing It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We hope you will specify the time for the Duha prayer?
Answer:
As mentioned earlier, the Duha prayer begins when the sun has risen the height of a spear, approximately fifteen minutes after sunrise. The prayer continues until the sun stands still. If the sun is in the middle of the sky, not leaning toward the west, and is at its zenith, this standing still is a time when prayer is prohibited. That is the time when Hellfire is kindled, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, so prayer is prohibited during that time.
However, it is better to pray the Duha when the young camels feel the heat, when the midday heat becomes intense, and when the sun has risen high. This is the best time. If one is sitting in the mosque until the sun rises, it is better for him to pray two rak'ahs when he stands up and leaves after the sun has risen, or in his home if he sat in his home after Fajr. When he finishes and the sun rises, he prays two rak'ahs, which suffice for the Duha prayer. If he prays after that, when the midday heat becomes intense, that is an increase in good, an increase in good and virtue. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
