Catching the eclipse prayer in the second bowing of the first rak'ah: does it count as a rak'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says:The questioner : Your Eminence! ... The eclipse prayer in the second bowing of the first rak'ah?
The Shaykh : Yes. In the eclipse prayer, there are two bowings, and in every rak'ah there are two bowings. If you catch the first bowing, you have caught the rak'ah. If you miss the first bowing, you have missed the rak'ah. Accordingly, if you join the imam after he has risen from the first bowing, you have missed the rak'ah. You make it up when the imam concludes the prayer, making it up with two bowings and two prostrations.
The questioner : This questioner is saying, Your Eminence.
The Shaykh : No. For you. I tell you, only two questions. Save it if there is time left, there is no harm.
