A person prayed the eclipse prayer with a group of people outside the area—meaning, in the open desert—without knowing how it is performed, so he led them in two units of prayer

The questioner : The questioner says: May the Shaykh be respected, a person prayed the eclipse prayer with a group of people outside the area, meaning in the open desert. He did not know how it is performed, so he prayed and led them in two units of prayer. When he finished the prayer, the people with him told him that his prayer was incorrect. Should he repeat the prayer?

The Shaykh : Yes. He should repeat the prayer as long as the eclipse is still ongoing. However, if the eclipse has ended, there is no blame on him. We have mentioned this in the same discussion previously: if the eclipse ends before the prayer is performed, then the prayer is not established. Yes.
