The answer

The eclipse prayer is valid. Most scholars consider it legislated for the moon, and Ibn Abbas performed it, and this was the view of Ata, Al-Hasan, Al-Nakha'i, Al-Shafi'i, and Ishaq. Malik and Abu Hanifa said that people should pray individually for a lunar eclipse, two rak'ahs at a time, and not pray it in congregation.
