The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The moon was eclipsed two nights ago, and the imams of the mosques exerted themselves in this matter. The eclipse occurred only a quarter of an hour before the second adhan of Fajr. Some hastened to pray and called for the congregation after the adhan and before the Fajr prayer, while others prayed Fajr and then led the congregation in the eclipse prayer until the sun rose. What is the correct ruling in this?
The Shaykh:
The correct ruling is that it is prayed before the dawn breaks. If the dawn has broken, the moon is finished; at that time, its effect and light are gone, so the eclipse prayer is not performed. It is only prayed if there is a need for the moon before the dawn breaks. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
In any case, whoever prayed and exerted himself, we hope that Allah will reward him and benefit him with what he did. However, one should seek knowledge in the religion of Allah and know the times and the times of the prayers. Yes.
