Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Does the imam make the length of the eclipse prayer according to the duration of the eclipse? If the duration is one hour, does he make the prayer one hour?
Answer:
Only Allah the Exalted knows the duration of the eclipse; no one knows this. However, he should lengthen the prayer. If the eclipse clears while he is still praying, he shortens the prayer. If the prayer ends before the eclipse clears, he engages in supplication and does not repeat the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
