Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Praying the eclipse prayer alone?
If he prays it alone, there is nothing wrong with it, but the prescribed practice is to pray in congregation with the people in the mosques; this is what is prescribed. Women pray with the people, and if they pray in their homes, there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: And the festival?
The Shaykh: Yes, he prays it in its proper form, but it is obligatory for him to pray the festival prayer with the people if he is able. As for if he is sick, he prays it in his home, and there is nothing wrong with it.
