Question

Assalaamualaikum I am 2 months pregnant and have been hearing many things about what I should and shouldn't do at the time of the eclipse. Most people have been telling my husband and I that the eclipse will have a detrimental effect on our child if i do anything, including housework & normal work. Please advise as to what the Hadith says in this regard Jazakallah

Answer

It is superstitious to believe your actions during the eclipse will effect your child.
