Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Salim from the Noble Makkah says: What is the manner of the eclipse prayer? And what is the virtue of the eclipse prayer?
Answer:
The eclipse prayer, when the sun is eclipsed or the moon is eclipsed, is they pray it in two rak'ahs with four bowings or six bowings? He recites, then bows, then stands up and says, "Allah hears the one who praises Him," then he recites al-Fatihah and recites after it whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an, and so on. This is the eclipse prayer, and it is a collective obligation (fard kifayah). If some of them perform it, the sin falls off the rest. And if they all leave it, they sin. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
