The questioner : He said: The honorable Shaykh, you mentioned, may Allah preserve you: that the eclipse prayer is a prayer of fear from the punishment of Allah, performed so that Allah may lift the punishment from the people. So in the lands of the disbelievers, there are some Muslims. So if it happens to them, is it obligatory for these Muslims to pray it?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is obligatory for Muslims in every place to pray the eclipse prayer. But as I said first, it is a collective obligation. And the punishment of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, when it descends, it encompasses everyone, encompassing the righteous and the non-righteous. And they will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection according to their intentions and their deeds. Do not say, "This is in a land of disbelief." Even if it is a land of disbelief, pray the eclipse prayer just as you pray the five daily prayers. Yes.
