Eating During an Eclipse

Eating During an Eclipse


Question :

Some parents forbid their children from eating and drinking during an eclipse, claiming that it is harmful to the stomach, or even claiming that doing so is unlawful. Is this true?


Answer:

It is permissible to eat and drink when there is an eclipse It and there is no harm in doing so. There is definitely no proof to indicate the contrary, and the general rule is permissibility until there is an evidence otherwise. However, during an eclipse, it is true that Muslims occupy themselves in prayer and in remembering Allâh Almighty, until it is over.
