When is duha prayer

Question: In a prayer schedule there is the time for Fajr and Shuruq. Shuruq time indicates the end of the Fajr prayer. Since we cannot pray immediately after Shuruq, when can we perform the Duha prayer?

How many minutes after the Shuruq time in a prayer schedule can one pray Duha? To begin with, the majority of the classical scholars are of the opinion that the post-sunrise prayer ishraq is the same as the mid-morning prayer Duha.

This is the very reason why the major classical books of Hanafi Fiqh do not mention the two prayers separately. However, the common perception especially amongst the Hanafis of the Indian Subcontinent is that Salat al-Ishraq and Salat al-Duha are two separate prayers. The recommended time for offering Ishraq prayer is immediately after sunrise, whilst the Duha prayer which they call the Chasht prayer is offered later on.

See: Heavenly Ornaments, P: Thereafter, when the sun has risen properly, one should offer the Ishraq or Duha prayer. Perhaps it is both of these meanings and most likely the second meaning is more apparent and correct. Some voluntary prayers are recommended to always be performed in congregation, such as the prayer for rain, the eclipse prayers, and taraweeh.

Other prayers, such as the greeting of the masjid, Duha prayer, and the regular voluntary prayers, are generally to be prayed alone, but it is permissible to infrequently pray the latter in congregation.
