Summary
The article presents two scholarly views on the Awwabin prayer. The majority view holds that it is the Duha prayer at its preferred time, when the sand becomes hot, based on the hadith in Muslim from Zaid bin Arqam. The second view, held by some Shafi'i scholars, places it between Maghrib and Isha, but its hadiths are weak, though they may be practised under virtuous deeds (fadhail al-a'mal). In the preference section, the stronger view is that Awwabin is the Duha prayer because its evidence is stronger.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
