The questioner : They differed regarding the number of rak'ahs; some said eight and some said six. Which is the stronger position?
The Shaykh : The stronger position is that it should be like the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), with two bowings in every rak'ah.
The questioner : If the verse has ended?
The Shaykh : If it has ended, they do not pray. Just as if the sun or moon becomes clear during an eclipse before they know about it, they do not pray, because this is for a cause, and if the cause is missed, the effect is missed.
