During the arrival phase to MIA; (First Officer flying) we were cleared for a visual approach to Runway 9. We lost contact with the runway due to hazy conditions and the position of the early morning sun. This condition complicated the workload which degraded our situational awareness. We found ourselves high and fast.  While correcting for this condition; our terrain closure rate caused the GPWS system to activate. The Pilot Flying corrected this condition and we continued to landing.I should have anticipated the restriction to visibility and required the First Officer to more closely adhere to procedures for using the ILS for this arrival. Also; when the GPWS activated; I should have called for a go-around be performed.
During a visual approach to MIA Runway 9; an International Crew distracted by the rising sun in the early morning haze; activated the EGPWS terrain closure rate warning as they corrected for a high fast approach.
