The questioner : During the eclipse prayer, the time for the obligatory prayer entered, and the eclipse did not end. What should be done?
The Shaykh : This person is asking and saying: What if the obligatory prayer and the eclipse prayer conflict?
If the time is wide enough to accommodate both, then the eclipse prayer is performed first. If the time is not wide enough, then the obligatory prayer is performed first.
The questioner : And the sermon?
The Shaykh : He does not deliver the sermon if he fears that the time will end. He does not deliver the sermon.
The questioner : If he prays the obligatory prayer, does he deliver the sermon after the obligatory prayer?
The Shaykh : If he prioritizes the obligatory prayer, then when he finishes the obligatory prayer, it is most likely that the eclipse will not have ended by the duration of the obligatory prayer, which is ten minutes or a quarter of an hour in most cases. In that case, he prays the eclipse prayer.
