Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I heard that there will be a total solar eclipse tomorrow, if Allah wills. Is there a specific time for praying it in congregation, or does whoever sees it pray it alone? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, as you heard, if the eclipse occurs, the eclipse prayer is prayed, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Praying it in congregation is better; praying it in congregation is better, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed it with his Companions in congregation. He may pray it alone. He may pray it alone, but praying it with the congregation is better. Yes.
