Salatudh-Dhuha, its time and the number of Rak'ahs
Question :
How many Rak'ahs are there in Salatudh-Dhuha? And what is a suitable time for performing it?
Answer:
Salatudh-Dhuha is highly recommended Sunnah and its minimum length is two Rak'ahs, while its maximum length is twelve Rak'ahs. The best time for it is when the heat of the day begins to increase, as it is reported in the Hadith:
"Salatul-Awwabin is when the hooves of the young camels are burnt by the heat of the sand.
But it is permissible from the time when the prohibition of praying ends, after the sun rises, when the shadow of a spear is equal in length to the spear, until about half an hour before the Athan of Zuhr, or less. And Allah knows best.
