The time it becomes permissible to pray after Fajr is from where salat al-Ishraq can be prayed, and it begins when the sun has risen a spear-length over the horizon and it can be prayed all the way until zenith (zawal).

Wa Allahu a´lam.
wassalam

Here we cannot see the horizon due to the buildings. But there time of the 'sunrise' is available with the salah timings. Akhi, any idea how many minutes 'after sunrise' will be when sun is spear-length over the horizion? 20 mins ? 45mins?

Edit: I m asking specifically due to the following hadith:

After completing Fajr salat, one does not move from one’s place and remains there reciting dhikr, tasbih, Qur’an, etc., avoiding participation in worldly affairs until the sun has fully risen (about minutes after sunrise). Then, one stands and offers two or four rakat of nafl. Hadiths are replete with the high merits of this prayer.

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) relates that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has said that "He who says Ishraq prayers without fail shall have his lesser sins forgiven even though they may be as numerous as foam specks on the surface of the sea."
[at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]

RasulAllah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) is reported to have said that Allah Ta'ala says, 'O son of Adam, perform 4 Rakats of Salat (Ishraq) in the early part of the day. I shall help you in accomplishing all your responsibilities during the rest of the day.'
