Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: If the moon is eclipsed after the Fajr prayer has begun, which is performed first, the eclipse prayer or the Fajr prayer?

Answer:
Once the dawn breaks, the lunar eclipse prayer is not performed, because the time for benefiting from it has ended. A lunar eclipse occurs at night, whereas during the day it is a solar eclipse, not a lunar one.
