Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Honorable Shaykh! A man missed the first rak'ah of the eclipse prayer. Is he required to perform the second rak'ah?The Shaykh: The first rak'ah?The questioner: Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh: That is: he builds upon it.
The questioner: He builds upon it,The first bowing was missed! The Shaykh: He must perform the second rak'ah; because when he entered with the imam, he committed to the imam's prayer,As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family said: (What you catch up with, pray; and what you missed, complete) So this person has a choice before he enters: if he wishes, he enters and obtains the reward, and participates with the people in the collective obligation; and if he does not wish, he does not enter, but if he enters, he commits to it, and the address directed to him is what you heard from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): (What you catch up with, pray; and what you missed, complete) Unless he has an excuse, such as being held back by urine or wind or something similar that compels him to break the prayer; in that case, he breaks it and there is no sin upon him.
