Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Festival Prayer and the Eclipse Prayer?

Answer:
The Festival Prayer is obligatory according to the correct view. And regarding the statement:
except if you volunteerإلا أن تطوع
There is evidence indicating the obligation of the Festival Prayer, and that the Messenger commanded it, peace and blessings be upon him, and said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayersصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
.
As for the Eclipse Prayer, it contains commands, and the well-known view among scholars is that it is a recommended practice, but the view that it is obligatory is a strong position; because it contains commands
If you see that, then prayإذا رأيتم ذلك فصلوا وادعوا...
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1491Sahih (Darussalam)
it contains commands; so the view that it is obligatory is a strong position.
