         When and how many Rakaats of Salaatul                               Ishraaq are offered?

                                      

Answer:

 Ishraaq time begins when the sun is high in the morning after twenty minutes of sun-rise. Offering two or four Rakaats prayer this time is highly rewarding. A Hadees says that the one who sits and busies himself in remembrance of Allah after finishing Fajr prayer in Jama'at till he offers two Rakaats prayer after sunrise will earn reward of Hajj and Umrah.
