Questions on the prayer for the eclipse.

The Shaykh : And here are some questions:
First: If a person enters the prayer and the imam has already risen from the first bowing, and he catches the second bowing, does he catch the unit of prayer or not? The answer is: No. The answer is that he does not catch the unit of prayer. So if you enter with the imam in the first unit, but you missed the first bowing of it, then when the imam concludes the prayer, you complete a unit. But do you complete a truncated unit, meaning one with only one bowing, or a unit with two bowings? The answer is: the latter. You must complete a unit with two bowings, because you missed the first unit. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . So you must complete the unit you missed in its proper form: two bowings in the unit and two prostrations.
The second question: If a person shortens the prayer, has he fulfilled the obligatory? The answer is: Yes, he has fulfilled the obligatory. But it is better to lengthen it. The evidence that he has fulfilled the obligatory is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . And this is recitation. And his saying to the man: . And what is this? He settled, so it suffices. But it is better to lengthen it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
The third question: Should we tell the women in their homes, or those who are in their homes due to illness and inability, should we say to them: Pray, or not? The answer is: It is said to them: Pray, due to the generality of the hadith: . So it is said to these people: Pray in your homes. And there is no harm in praying in congregation as well. If, for example, among the women there is a woman who is a reciter and leads them, there is no harm, because the hadith is general and includes her prayer in the mosques and her prayer in the homes. But it has been mentioned to us previously that for men, it is better to pray it in what? In the congregational mosques.
The fourth question: If a person passes through a verse of prostration in the prayer for the eclipse, does he prostrate and lengthen the prostration, or does he prostrate a light prostration as usual? The apparent view is the first: that if he prostrates for recitation, he lengthens the prostration for recitation as he lengthened the prostration of the prayer. And this is so that the prayer is proportionate, because the ruling of prostration for recitation within the prayer is the same as the ruling of the prostration of the prayer. It should be long and proportionate.
The fifth question: Should we, when we know when the eclipse will occur, inform the people of it so that they prepare for the prayer, or is it better that we do not inform them? The answer is: the second, the answer is: the second, that we do not inform them, because when a thing comes and a person is prepared for it, it diminishes its awe and the fear of the person. But if it comes suddenly, it has an impact on the soul. And so you see the people who know the time of the eclipse, you see them waiting for it, looking at the moon, looking at the sun, as they look at the crescent. Meaning: that the matter is cold for them, it is nothing. So the fact that people do not know except when it occurs is undoubtedly greater in fear and greater in awe. And for this reason, if you know about it, do not strive to inform about it, neither your family nor anyone else.
I ask Allah the Exalted to protect us and you from the evil of His punishments, and to shield us and you from His anger and retribution, for He is capable of all things.
