Masbuk dan Qada Solat Gerhana
Is a worshipper who only joins the second bowing of the first unit of the eclipse prayer considered a latecomer, and can the eclipse prayer be made up later?

A worshipper who only catches the second bowing of the first unit is considered a latecomer (masbuk) and does not obtain that unit with the imam.

Summary
A worshipper who only catches the second bowing of the first unit is considered a latecomer (masbuk) and does not obtain that unit with the imam. He must add one more unit to complete the prayer. A unit is gained only if the first bowing is caught with the imam. The ruling also states that there is no makeup (qada) for the eclipse prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Saudara dikira makmum masbuk dan perlu menambah satu rakaat lagi kerana saudara mendapat rakaat bersama imam hanya jika sempat rukuk yang pertama bersama imam.
