Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on the worshippers turning their garments in the prayer for rain? And what is the ruling on the eclipse prayer?
The Shaykh : As for the people turning their garments, what is in my memory is that it is not established, unlike the imam turning his; that is a recommended practice (sunnah). As for the lunar eclipse prayer, or rather the solar eclipse prayer, it is obligatory due to the convergence of the commands of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it. Is there any evidence there that shifts the command from obligation to recommendation?
Yes.
