Question:
Also, Honorable Shaykh, regarding these rulings we have heard from you (may Allah preserve you), some people are negligent, for example, in the prayer for the eclipse and do not pay it any attention. What is the ruling on abandoning the prayer for the eclipse?
Answer:
The prayer for the eclipse is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it and performed it. No one is lazy about it except one who is deprived, ignorant, or influenced by what he hears of belittling the prayer for the eclipse. Yes.
