Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it preferable to consider the ma'mum in the eclipse prayer by not prolonging it for them?
Answer:
Establishing the Sunnah, which is prescribed, means acting according to the Sunnah. The ma'mum are according to what they are accustomed to; if you accustom them to it, they become accustomed to it. If you explain the Sunnah to them beforehand, they will accept it. But if you do not explain it, they will lean toward comfort, without doubt. However, if you explain to them the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the eclipse, they will be convinced by it. Yes.
