The is for the eclipse prayer to continue until the phenomenon clears. If the Imam finishes the prayer thinking the eclipse has ended, but it is still ongoing, the prayer is not to be repeated. It is then recommended for people to occupy themselves with supplication (du'a) and remembrance () until the clearing is complete, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "So when you see them (the sun and moon eclipsed), supplicate to Allah and pray until they clear."
