The answer

What is prescribed during a solar or lunar eclipse is to hasten to Allah through prayer, remembrance, supplication, seeking forgiveness, and giving charity, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. Allah frightens His servants with them. And they do not eclipse for the death of anyone. So, when you see anything of that, pray and supplicate to Allah until what is with you is removed." A woman in this regard is like a man, and if she has a legal impediment to prayer, then she should hasten to supplication, charity, seeking forgiveness, and remembrance.
