The morning prayer of Ḍuḥa or Ishrāq as it is also known, was performed by the Noble Messenger ﷺ

Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah R.A reported: My beloved (the Prophet ﷺ) advised me to do three things, which I will never abandon so long as I live: to fast three days of each month, to pray two rakʿahs of Ḍuḥa prayer, and not to sleep until I pray Witr.

There are some misconceptions with regards to ʿIshāʾ and midnight. Firstly, ʿIshaʾ is permitted after midnight and ʿIshaʾ time lasts until the Adhan of Fajr.
Secondly, it is preferable to pray ʿIsha before midnight for the congregational prayer. Thus, when praying alone, there is no preference to the time.
Thirdly, for the congregation to be delayed until after midnight, it is Makruh Tanzihi.
Therefore, one should be able to pray ʿIshā without any regard for midnight.

This is the time of ʿAṣr equal to one shadow length. This is the method of the Shafi'i, the Hanbali, and the Maliki schools, as well as the two main students of Imam Abu Hanifah Rahimahullah.

As a Hanafi, it would be permissible to pray at the early time when the congregation in the locality is held at this time such as in the Arab lands of Jordan, Syria, and others. Also, for Hanafis, it would be better to pray the Ẓuhr Salah prior to the commencement of the Early ʿAṣr.

The timings are fixed at 18 degrees for sub'ha sadiq, and 17 degrees for ʿIshā (12 during BST) based on the classical worldwide and accepted position going all the way back to al-Biruni (d. 1048). This is in contrast to the other opinon being at 15 degrees which, although correlates with recent mushahada, such as the observations carried out by Dr Asim Yusuf, as well as the historic Hisbul Ulama mushahada led by Maulana Yaqub Miftahi, the preferred opinion that is adopted out of ihtiyat and the practice of major scholars across the world, is the 18 degree angle.

In the near future, options for scholarly use and tabular data for easy printing will be provided, inshaʾAllāh. References are available upon request. Please email admin for any questions, suggestions, or feedback.

*Fixed at 23:00 for ʿIshāʾ and 01:22 for Fajr in lieu of the onset of Persisting Twilight times where the Sun fails to decline below the horizon to any of the acceptable levels of degrees during High Summer. This means that the level of darkness required for one to witness the visible phenomena required to intiate the time of ʿIshāʾ and Fajr, are both absent. Thus, the fiqhi law of Aqrabul Ayyām is used to fix it at the previous time that ʿIshā and Fajr occured before this phenomenon.
