Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q279: The questioner asks: What is the minimum number of rak'ahs in the Dhuha prayer and what is the maximum? When does its time begin, and when does it end?
A279: The Dhuha prayer is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah). Its minimum is two rak'ahs, and its maximum is eight rak'ahs, with each two rak'ahs concluded by a taslim. Its time begins when the sun has risen the height of a spear after its appearance, and it ends when the sun reaches the zenith of the sky, before the midday prayer.
