Jazakallah Khair

Asslamo Allaikum,

All the Ahadeeth and Athaar point to the fact that they prayed when they witnessed the event, so I would think not.

Lets see what knowledgable Brothers/Sisters have to say about this, Insha'Allah.

Ya, I also think so. I asked an ulema and he said no. There was no eclipse here.

The moon is completely visible at the moment, a perfect white circle.

, I was on my way home around midnight when i noticed a dark brown shadow on the moon with the edge of the moon still bright on the right side, Right now the moon is full and dull orange....

, this is the first time i saw an eclipse and I sort of panicked, calling friends and relations to come out oif their homes and see it...

omg the lunar eclipse is going on here right now..for the 1st time i ever saw a lunar eclipse.

it started at 9:30pm.now its 1:32am.

I have a question,
some of my mom's friends are telling here that u shouldn't eat during pregnancy??
is that true?or just a myth?according to me,I guess its just some sorta innovation+in our country many people start fasting during the eclipse time.But i find it lame.And i tried to find in many sites about the eating part.But I only found about the prayer,nothing regarding the eating fact in Islamic sites or hadees.

So if possible plssssss provide some facts from some authentic source.
