how far it is true that doing any kind of work or movemnt in eclipse will gv soem kind of deformity. both at my in laws n mother side its believed that u r not suppose to do any kind work like cutting , choping,etc u r supppse to lie still for those few hours of eclipse. for e.g. if u cut somthing it is possible ur newborn baby will have any of his body part cut..like cut arm or leg

i have come across many people who never follow all this at the same time one of my sil went for abortion recently just because she was pregnant and she didnt know she was expecting..unknowingly there was an eclipse and she ddint know, she didnt follow all these precautions she was scared her baby would have had some deformity

ruksar replied. Here is the answere for everything about elcispe from Islamc information center.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Thanks for your question, and we ask Allah Almighty to guide us all to the best and to rescue us all from all evils.
First of all, we would like to stress that an eclipse is a natural phenomenon that was created by Allah Almighty. It is a sign of Allah that has its own path determined for it. Referring to this, Allah Almigthy says, [It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit] (Ya-Sin 36: 40).
Moreover, it is the duty of the Muslim to shun all forms of superstitions from his life and to avoid linking the existence of natural phenomena to certain physical calamities or disabilities that may happen to him. There is a reference to that in the Prophetic Sunnah, in which Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day whenIbrahim, the Prophet’s son, died. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the following: \" Verily the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse on account of the death of anyone or on account of the birth of anyone. So when you see them (in a state of eclipse), supplicate Allah and observe the Prayer till it is over.\" (Reported by Muslim)
