The Lunar Eclipse Before Fajr and the Prayer for It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: The moon has been eclipsed for a while, and people did not see it except before the Fajr prayer. Some mosques prayed after the Fajr prayer, and some did not pray. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
If the Fajr has appeared, the prayer for the lunar eclipse is not performed; because the benefit from it has ended, the day has come, and the moon is among the signs of the night, not among the signs of the day. The sign of the day is the sun. Yes.
