The Time of the Duha Prayer and the Specification of Its Number of Rak'ahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the number of rak'ahs in the Duha prayer? Is there a difference between the Duha prayer and the Shuruq prayer?
Answer:
The Shuruq prayer is the early Duha prayer. It is better to pray it when the Duha is intense, when the young camels are scorched by the heat and the Duha is at its peak. It does not have a fixed number; its minimum is two rak'ahs. If one prays more, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes pray four rak'ahs, and sometimes he would pray eight (peace and blessings be upon him). If one prays more, there is no harm.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you, Your Eminence, the Shaykh.
The Shaykh: But one should say the taslim after every two rak'ahs. The Sunnah is to say the taslim after every two rak'ahs, in pairs. Yes.
