Summary
There is no difference between the fajr and subuh sunnah prayers except in name, as both terms were used by the Prophet in the hadith. The time begins after the true dawn (fajar sodiq) appears and ends at sunrise. These two rakaat are the most emphasised of the regular sunnah prayers and carry many virtues. According to the Shafie school and the majority, it is recommended to recite Surah al-Kafirun and al-Ikhlas, or specific verses from another narration, after al-Fatihah, while Imam Malik held that only al-Fatihah is recited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
tiada perbezaan antara solat sunat fajar dan solat sunat subuh melainkan pada nama sahaja.
