What does the imam of the mosque do if an eclipse occurs and he finds no one to pray with?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am the imam of a mosque, and when a solar or lunar eclipse occurs, I go to the mosque, but there are no worshippers to perform the prayer.

The Shaykh:
The call is made for the eclipse prayer: "The prayer is gathered, the prayer is gathered," until they hear each other. Perhaps some of them did not know that there was an eclipse, so the call is made for that reason. Yes. So if you come to the mosque, you call out with the microphone: "The prayer is gathered, the prayer is gathered," and you repeat it. Yes.

The questioner:
And if I do not find anyone, do I start the prayer alone, or do I wait until someone comes to pray with me?

The Shaykh:
Call, call for it, call with the microphone for it, invite for it, and wait. If someone comes, fine; otherwise, pray. Yes.
