When is the best time to pray Duha in winter, analogous to the preference for praying it in summer "until the ground warms up for the young camels"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The preferred time for the Duha prayer is after the sun has risen and a quarter of the day has passed. This is its best time, although it is permissible from sunrise until zawal (the sun's declination from its meridian). This is supported by the : "The prayer of the oft-returning (Awwabin) is when the young camels feel the heat of the sun (tarmadu al-fisal)," which means when the sun's heat becomes intense for young camels. This is the middle time between sunrise and zawal.
