Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Is the recitation loud in the solar eclipse prayer? What is the difference between it and the lunar eclipse prayer? And what is a lunar eclipse? It is said that the moon "eclipsed" (khasafa) and the sun "eclipsed" (kasafa), and "eclipse" (khusuf) and "eclipse" (kusuf), but the more eloquent usage is "khusuf" for the moon and "kusuf" for the sun. That is the case.

Answer : As for the prayer, it is one, and the recitation is loud, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the lunar eclipse prayer.
