Is it permissible to delay the Duha prayer until ten in the morning?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother says: Regarding the Duha prayer, is it permissible for me to delay it until ten in the morning, for example?

Answer:
The entire period of Duha is a time for prayer, from when the sun rises the length of a spear until near the time of Dhuhr. The best time is when the heat of the Duha is intense, which is around ten o'clock these days, or ten-thirty, or eleven. All of this is a time for the Duha prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The prayer of those who are penitent is observed when your weaned camels feel the heat of the sun.صلاة الأوابين حين ترمض الفصال
Sahih Muslim 748a
meaning: when the heat becomes intense for the young camels.
So the conclusion is: The time for the Duha prayer is broad, from when the sun rises the length of a spear until the sun stands still before Dhuhr, which is about a quarter of an hour, or a third of an hour. All of this is a time for the Duha prayer. And if it is during the time of intense Duha and the rising of the Duha, it is better. Yes...
