The People of the Village Abandoning the Eclipse Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If an eclipse occurs and the people of the village do not pray, even though they are aware of it, do they sin by leaving it?

Answer:
Yes, they sin by leaving it, because they intentionally left a recommended practice (sunnah), so they sin by doing so. Yes.
