Answer:

 

Pregnant and eclipse

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 2.151 Narrated by Abu Masud

Allah`s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death of someone from the people, but they are two Signs amongst the Signs of Allah. When you see them stand up and pray."

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 2.170         Narrated by Abu Bakra

In the lifetime of the Allah's Messenger (saws) the sun eclipsed and he (saws) went out and reached the Masjid. The people gathered around him and he led them and offered a two Rakah prayer. When the sun (eclipse) cleared, he (saws) said, "The sun and the moon are two Signs amongst the Signs of Allah; they do not eclipse because of the death of someone, and so when an eclipse occurs, pray and invoke Allah till the eclipse is over." (It so happened that Ibraheem, the son of the Prophet Mohamed (saws) had died on that day and the people were talking about that (assuming that the eclipse was caused by his death).

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 2.158         Narrated by Abu Bakra

Allah's Messenger (saws) said: "The sun and the moon are two Signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of the death of someone; but Allah frightens His devotees with it."

 

Every believer who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, regardless of man or woman, pregnant female or otherwise….when they experience or witness a time of eclipse should immediately bring their Lord to remembrance, fear Him, and stand up and hasten to offer the two rakah Sunnah prayer of ‘Kasuf’ or eclipse prayer until the eclipse is over.

 

Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 2.34a

Topic: ‘Salatul Kasuf’ or prayer of the solar and lunar eclipse

The scholars agree that the prayer of the eclipses is a ‘Sunnah Mu'akkadah’ or an extremely preferred Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws), which is to be performed by both men and women. It is best to pray it in congregation although the congregation is not a condition for it.

The majority of the scholars hold that the ‘Salatul Kasuf” is to consist of two rakah and that in every rakah one is to perform two bowings (ruku') instead of the customary one.

 

Aishah (r.a.) narrates: "There was a solar eclipse during the time of the Prophet (saws) and the Prophet (saws) went to the Masjid, and he (saws) stood and made the takbir, and assembled the people in rows behind him, and he made a lengthy recital after the recitation of ‘Surah Al-Fatihah’ during the salah. Next, he (saws) made the takbir and made a long ruku, but it was not as long as the recital. Following that, he (saws) raised his head, saying: 'Allah hears him who praises Him. And to You, our Lord, belongs the praise.' Afterward, he (saws) stood and made another long recital but it was shorter than the first one. Again, he (saws) made the takbir and made a ruku that was shorter than the first one. Then, again he (saws) said: 'Allah hears him who praises Him. And to You, our Lord, belongs the praise.' After this, he (saws) prostrated. He (saws) did the same in the next rakah and finished four ruku and four sujjud. The sun appeared again before he (saws) finished. Finally, he (saws) stood and addressed the people and praised Allah as He deserves and said: 'The sun and the moon are two signs from among Allah's Signs, and there is no eclipse due to someone's death or life. If you see them (the eclipse) occurring, hasten to pray, and invoke Allah until it (the eclipse) is over.'"

Your Statement: …..it said that, while eclipse falls, a perganent lady should be sleeping straight, her hand fingers all should be straight, she should move, come inforant of direct sun..........
To the best of our knowledge there is absolutely no obligation or requirement in Shariah upon the pregnant woman to act any differently from the other believers during the times of eclipse, nor is there any guidance in the Sunnah which recommends or commands her to sleep straight, keep her hand fingers straight, or forbids her to move, etc……but the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (saws) unto the believers is that whenever they witness an  eclipse they should immediately bring their Lord to remembrance, fear Him, and hasten to offer the eclipse prayer of ‘Kasuf’ until the eclipse is over.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
