Overview
Duha, for the jurists, is between the sun's rising and its zenith; salat al-duha is the prayer performed in that time. 1
Awwabin and ishraq
Some hold the awwabin prayer is salat al-duha, the two being synonymous; others place the awwabin between maghrib and 'isha'. The ishraq prayer, mentioned by some Shafi'is in the duha discussion, is on the relied-upon view of al-Ramli and al-Ziyadi the same as the duha prayer; a view makes it two rak'as at the sun's rising. 1 2
Form
Among the voluntary prayers for which no congregation is prescribed: at least two rak'as, at most twelve, with salam every two. 2
