Summary
The khusuf prayer is valid if performed like an ordinary voluntary prayer, with a single bowing and a single standing in each rakaat. This is based on a hadith from Abu Bakrah r.a. that the Prophet SAW performed the khusuf prayer in two rakaat like the usual prayer. Muslims may choose either the method in the Perak State Mufti Department guide or the explanation in this Q&A, according to their ability.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya dilaksanakan solat sunat khusuf seperti mana solat sunat biasa iaitu dengan hanya sekali rukuk dan sekali qiam maka sah solat tersebut.
