Is the eclipse prayer prescribed if the eclipse is very slight but visible to the naked eye?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If an eclipse occurs partially, but it is very slight and visible to the naked eye, is the prayer prescribed in that case?

Answer:
Yes, the prayer is prescribed, and the prayer is shortened because it corresponds to the duration of the eclipse. If the eclipse lasts a long time, the prayer is long; if the duration of the eclipse is short, the prayer is shortened. If you see any of that, pray. This is seeing the eclipse; it is visible, even if it is slight. Yes.
