Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the criterion for the prayer of the eclipse? Is it what the astronomers mention, or when we see it?
Answer:
It is upon the sighting, upon the sighting. If you see it, then [you pray]. As for mere news and calculation, it is not acted upon.
