The questioner : It is reported from some astronomers that the eclipse occurred more than once during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), citing as evidence the characteristics mentioned in the narrations?
The Shaykh : This is not correct. It is the consensus of the scholars who transmitted this that it only happened once. However, the eclipse according to astronomers is not the same as the eclipse in the Shari'ah. For them, an eclipse is a shadow in which the light does not disappear.
