The questioner : Regarding the total and partial eclipse, does one pray two rak'ahs?
The Shaykh : Yes, the prayer is performed for both total and partial eclipses. However, sometimes it is not clearly discernible, especially in the case of the sun. It may be ... slight and not clearly visible, and the light of the sun is not affected. In such a case, the prayer is not performed. It is necessary for us to know that an eclipse has actually occurred.
