Summary
The Duha prayer is recommended to be performed as two rakaat per salam, but performing four rakaat with one salam is permissible. The fatwa nonetheless prefers praying in sets of two rakaat, four or more in total, as this is closer to the textual evidence. It cites the hadith of Umm Hani, in which the Prophet prayed eight rakaat of Duha, giving salam after every two rakaat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sunat hukumnya dilakukan solat sunat Duha secara dua rakaat satu salam, tetapi jika dilakukan dengan empat rakaat satu salam itu harus hukumnya.
