Summary
The Subuh sunnah prayer is performed after the Subuh time has begun and before the obligatory Subuh prayer. The ruling relies on a hadith that the Prophet prayed it after the Subuh call to prayer once dawn was clear, and another that there is no prayer after dawn breaks except the two dawn rakaat. The Shafii scholars cited state that the time of a rawatib prayer before the obligatory prayer begins when the time of that obligatory prayer enters.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
dapat kami simpulkan bahawa waktu melakukan solat sunat Subuh adalah setelah masuknya waktu Subuh dan sebelum menunaikan solat fardhu Subuh.
