If one wants to pray the Dhuha prayer, for example, eight rak'ahs, is it permissible for him to pray them with one tashahhud and one taslim?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Dhuha prayer: naturally, the best is to pray it in pairs, two by two. But if he wants to combine them, how many tashahhuds and what?
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : I mean, if he wants to pray eight, does it have more than one tashahhud?
The Shaykh : I do not understand.
The questioner : If I want to pray the Dhuha prayer as eight consecutive rak'ahs, is it one tashahhud?
The Shaykh : It is permissible.
The questioner : And is it permissible to repeat the count?
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah! I had intended to tell you this before you asked me this question. Yesterday, I was asked about the four-rak'ah prayer, and I told her there are three forms: the best is to say the taslim after two rak'ahs; then to perform two tashahhuds with one taslim; and then to pray it as a single unit with one tashahhud and one taslim.
The student : Praise be to Allah, the matter is resolved.
Another student: The best is two taslims.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student : I say, and the best is...
The Shaykh : Three ranks.
