Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fifth: Among the issues that arise regarding the eclipse prayer is that it contains two bowings in every unit of prayer. So, if a person who joins the prayer late enters with the imam after the first bowing, does he catch up with the unit of prayer?
No.
Because a unit of prayer is not caught up with unless the first bowing is caught up with. So, if you come and the imam is in the first unit of prayer and has already risen from the first bowing, then you have missed the first unit of prayer. When he concludes the prayer, you stand up and make up a complete unit of prayer with two bowings and two prostrations. This is because catching up with a unit of prayer in the eclipse prayer is not achieved except by catching up with the first bowing. This is an issue that is hidden from many people. Many people, when they catch up with the second bowing, think that they have caught up with the unit of prayer, but that is not the case. Because a bowing remains for him in that unit of prayer. How can you be one who has caught up with the unit of prayer when you have missed a bowing?
