What is the ruling on one who intentionally delays the Dhuha prayer to perform it during a time of disliking (karaaha)? Does he fall under the ruling of one who forgets or is compelled? And will his prayer be accepted then?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The time for Duha prayer begins when the sun has risen to the height of a spear (approximately a quarter or a third of an hour after sunrise) and ends just before zawal (midday), by a period ranging from five to ten minutes. Whoever intentionally delays the Duha prayer until the forbidden time has committed a prohibited act, and its reward will not be established for him.
