Does looking at a lunar eclipse lead to deformities and abnormalities, especially for pregnant women, and is there any religious evidence to support this?
If it is proven through experimentation or the reliable information provided by trustworthy doctors that looking at the moon during a lunar eclipse is harmful, then it is not permissible to look at it. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm," and Allah's Almighty saying: "So ask the people of the Reminder if you do not know."
