The Shaykh spoke about the prayer of the solar and lunar eclipses. He also spoke in it about the prayers that have a cause: are they prayed in the times of prohibition?

The questioner : Except that I told you, if the moon is eclipsed.
The Shaykh : So I say that it is not hidden, in my opinion, from everyone that both the solar and lunar eclipse differ between being partial and being total, and between being half, and between these degrees there are many grades. The purpose of this detail is that if the eclipse is partial, its duration and time do not last long. In this case, if the matter conflicts between performing the Fajr prayer in the first, best time and missing the eclipse prayer because it is partial, meaning it does not last long, in this case he starts by praying the solar or lunar eclipse prayer, then he prays the prayer, if for example it is a lunar eclipse of the Fajr prayer, or if for example it is during the day, the Zuhr or 'Asr prayer. Because the solar eclipse prayer...
Is this camel milk?
The questioner : It is sheep milk.
The Shaykh : Sheep, what Allah willed. May Allah reward you with good. This previous speech is clear.
The questioner : Clarified.
The Shaykh : Yes. Regarding the lunar eclipse that occurred at the time of Fajr, if it is partial, he starts with the lunar eclipse prayer, then the Fajr prayer, fearing that the lunar eclipse prayer will be missed. But if it is total, it takes two hours or more, so the Fajr prayer is prayed in its time, then the lunar eclipse prayer is performed.
It is not said here, and I think this is the answer to the question: that if we pray the Fajr prayer and then pray the lunar eclipse prayer after that, that this is not a time for prayer, citing his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1249Sahih (Darussalam) So we say, the Messenger of Allah spoke the truth, Sunan Ibn Majah 1249Sahih (Darussalam), but this text is a general one that has been specified, and it was specified by many, many texts. One of the scholars of hadith in India or Pakistan, known as Shams al-Din 'Azim al-Abadi, collected them in a special book he titled "Informing the People of the Era of the Rulings of the Two Rak'ahs of the Fajr Sunnah."
Here, on the occasion of his speaking about performing the Fajr Sunnah prayer for one who missed it before Fajr, he is to pray it after Fajr, with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1249Sahih (Darussalam), on this occasion he addressed explaining the hadiths that specified this hadith, and its full text is Sunan Ibn Majah 1250Sahih (Darussalam). Among the specifications was that he reached the preference of the position of Imam al-Shafi'i, who says that this hadith prohibiting prayer after Fajr and after 'Asr is a general one specified by... by prayers that have causes, by the prayers that have causes.
So every prayer that a cause occurs for it, if this prayer is left and the cause is missed, the prayer is missed, so it is prayed due to the existence of the cause. We are now in the midst of a lunar eclipse. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Ummah when he addressed his Companions on the day his son Ibrahim (peace be upon him) died, and they had a pre-Islamic age of ignorance belief that if the sun and moon are eclipsed, it is only for the death of a great person. The son of the Messenger, Ibrahim, he addressed them saying:Sahih al-Bukhari 1044. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the prayer of the solar and lunar eclipse. If the Muslim does not reach this occasion, its time passes. From this hadith and its like, the Shafi'i scholars concluded, following their Imam, that the prayers that have causes are not disliked in the disliked times. From that, the solar eclipse prayer and the lunar eclipse prayer. But if the matter revolves around combining, that he prays the prayer in a time other than its time as we assumed earlier, meaning he prays the lunar eclipse prayer then follows with the Fajr prayer, this is better. But if it is not possible except this, there is no dislike in performing the lunar eclipse prayer after the Fajr prayer, because it may be long and very long. And the Sunnah of the solar and lunar eclipse prayer, unfortunately, most people are ignorant of it and the majority of them neglected it all, except those whom Allah protected, and they are few, because it is long and very long, as that came in the books of the authentic Sunnah. Others.

لا صلاة بعد الفجر حتى تطلع الشمسthere is no prayer after the Fajr until the sun has risen
لا صلاة بعد الفجر حتى تطلع الشمسHere, on the occasion of his speaking about performing the Fajr Sunnah prayer for one who missed it before Fajr, he is to pray it after Fajr, with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
there is no prayer after the Fajr until the sun has risen
لا صلاة بعد الفجر حتى تطلع الشمسand there is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun has set.
ولا صلاة بعد العصر حتى تغرب الشمسSo every prayer that a cause occurs for it, if this prayer is left and the cause is missed, the prayer is missed, so it is prayed due to the existence of the cause. We are now in the midst of a lunar eclipse. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Ummah when he addressed his Companions on the day his son Ibrahim (peace be upon him) died, and they had a pre-Islamic age of ignorance belief that if the sun and moon are eclipsed, it is only for the death of a great person. The son of the Messenger, Ibrahim, he addressed them saying:
The sun and the moon are two signs against the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse on the death or life of anyone. So when you see the eclipse, remember Allah and say Takbir, pray and give Sadaqa.
إن الشمس والقمر آيتان من آيات الله لا تنكسفان لموت أحد ولا لحياته فإذا رأيتم ذلك فصلوا وتصدقوا
