AL-KAFI #1255: WAKTU SEBENAR SOLAT SUNAT ISYRAQ (EDISI KEMASKINI)
When is the actual time for the Isyraq prayer, and how does it differ from the Dhuha prayer?
Short answer
The Isyraq prayer is the Dhuha prayer performed at the start of its time, beginning when the sun has risen about a spear's length, roughly 12 to 15 minutes after sunrise.

Summary
The Isyraq prayer is the Dhuha prayer performed at the start of its time, beginning when the sun has risen about a spear's length, roughly 12 to 15 minutes after sunrise. It consists of two units only, whereas Dhuha may be performed from two up to 12 units. Isyraq cannot be made up if missed, and if performed after its time it counts as Dhuha. The fullest reward is gained by praying Subuh in congregation and staying in the mosque in remembrance of Allah, but those who must leave for work may pray it anywhere.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat Sunat Isyraq tidak boleh diqadha jika sekiranya terlepas waktunya. Jika ia dikerjakan selepas dari waktu Solat Isyraq itu, maka ia dikira sebagai Solat Dhuha dan bukan Solat Isyraq.
