Ustādhunā, much of Europe will experience a partial solar eclipse tomorrow, in shāʾ Allāh. I thought it could benefit others if I asked how is the eclipse prayer performed?

It is two rakʿahs, and in each rakʿah two standings with two recitations and two rukuʿs before the two sujuds, reciting aloud and lengthening each standing and rukuʿ, the second shorter than the first. People are called to it with as-salatu jamiʿah and not with the adhan, and its time runs from the eclipse until it clears, and it is not made up once it has cleared.
