Voluntary prayers are forbidden after the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen to the height of a spear (approximately fifteen minutes after sunrise). This is based on the narrated by 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir, which was collected by Muslim. The terms "Salat al-Fajr" and "Salat al-Subh" are two names for the same obligatory prayer, and both appellations have been mentioned in hadith. There are also two Rak'ahs of prayer before the Fajr prayer.
