london duha prayer timings duha window
Sunnah voluntary rak’ahs in between sunrise and Dhuhr are known as duha prayer (Salat al-Duha/Chasht), which depends on the location/sun angle. In London (Feb 2026), the sun rises at about 7:30-6:50 AM, at Dhuhr at about 12:14 PM, including 4.5-5hr windows. Times computed using the Muslim world league procedure (ICOP Hanafi Asr); beginning after 15min sunrise, terminating 15 minutes before Dhuhr in order to be safe. Ideal 8-11 rak’ahs mid-window. Take such apps as Muslim Pro/Aladhan to get real-time updates (IST-adjusted) during short winter days. Fast, friendly, increases rizq per hadith.
Duha begins ~15min after sunrise (sun 1 spear-length high), ends ~15min before Dhuhr (sun zenith). Rak’ahs flexible 2-12; 8 recommended. London Feb shortens to 4.5hrs.
