The Beginning of Salatudh-Dhuha and the Time of Witr
Question :
1. When does Salatudh-Dhuha start?
Answer:
1. Salatudh-Dhuha begins when the sun has risen till the shadow of a spear is as long as the spear itself, until just before midday, that is, about half an hour before- and the best time for it is half-way through the morning, when the sand starts to become hot.
Question :
2. When does the time for Witr prayer begin?
Answer:
2. The time for Witr is after the 'Isha' prayer and before Fajr. And the best time is in the latter part of the night, for those who are able to stand in prayer (at that time), and those who fear that they will miss it due to sleep should pray it before sleeping.
