Does performing four rakaat of Isyraq prayer count as performing four rakaat of Dhuha prayer?

Summary
Some scholars hold that the Isyraq prayer is the Dhuha prayer performed at its earliest time, so four rakaat of Isyraq also count as Dhuha. This is the established view within the Shafi'i school. The explanation also notes a differing opinion that treats Isyraq as a separate two-rakaat prayer when the sun has risen. Its time begins once the sun has risen about a spear's length, stated as roughly 16 to 20 minutes after sunrise.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, berdasarkan pandangan ini, empat rakaat solat sunat Isyraq yang saudara tunaikan itu adalah juga solat sunat Dhuha. Inilah pandangan muktamad di kalangan ulama mazhab Syafie.
