Question:
He asks: Does a person sin by leaving the prayer for the eclipse and the solar eclipse, as well as the prayer for rain, where some people are lax in these matters?
Answer:
If everyone leaves these prayers or some of them, they all sin, because they are strongly emphasized. However, if a sufficient number of people perform them, it is a collective obligation that is strongly emphasized. If a sufficient number performs them, the recommended practice is fulfilled. It is incumbent upon the Muslim to attend it to obtain the reward, even if others have already performed it; he should attend to share in the reward and the supplication. Yes.
