"What is a Lunar Eclipse?"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, causing the sunlight to not fully reach the Moon. This happens due to the dynamic movement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon during the full moon phase and can be predicted in advance. During an eclipse, the Moon will appear red in color, especially during a total eclipse. According to NASA, the Moon can experience a total eclipse up to three times a year."

The phenomenon of lunar eclipse has brought forth many traditions and beliefs in the past. Not only in Indonesia, but also in several countries such as India and Mexico, traditions and myths related to eclipses have developed rapidly.

"Myths of Lunar Eclipse for Pregnant Women that Should Not be Believed"

In several traditions and beliefs of the past, a lunar eclipse is considered as a sign of misfortune. Until now, many still believe that a lunar eclipse can bring bad luck to pregnant women.

1. Pregnant Women Should Not Leave the House during an Eclipse

In the past, people believed that during an eclipse, evil spirits would appear and endanger the safety of pregnant women and their unborn babies. Therefore, pregnant women were forbidden from leaving the house. However, this prohibition was merely a myth. The prohibition arose because during an eclipse, the surrounding environment becomes dark due to the absence of sunlight. Since there was no electricity at that time, lighting was very minimal. This condition could be dangerous for pregnant women.

2. Cannot Wear Metal or Jewelry

The belief in astrology in India states that if a pregnant mother wears jewelry or metal during an eclipse, her baby may be born with defects. On the other hand, the belief in ancient Mexico suggests that pregnant mothers should wear jewelry or metal to prevent the birth of a cleft lip baby.

3. Prohibited to Hold Sharp Objects

In the past, it was believed that during an eclipse, pregnant women should not hold sharp objects to prevent danger. This is because in the past, lighting was still limited without electricity. This was done to protect pregnant women from potential accidents. However, this prohibition is not directly related to the eclipse itself.

Bathing during Lunar Eclipse for Pregnant Women According to Islam

"In Islam, there are no specific regulations regarding bathing during a lunar eclipse for pregnant women. There is no prohibition for pregnant women to bathe during a lunar eclipse according to Islamic teachings. According to the Encyclopedia of Women's Jurisprudence (2018), the general teachings in Islam state that bathing during an eclipse is intended for the preparation of eclipse prayer, not only for pregnant women but for all Muslim individuals."

The following translation preserves the HTML tags: "Taking a bath is recommended, but not obligatory. The evidence for this bath is taken from the recommended bath before Friday prayer."

Bathing is recommended to be done from the beginning of the eclipse until the end of the total eclipse phase. However, the decision to bathe during an eclipse, including for pregnant women, is a personal choice according to each individual's beliefs.

1. Intention Prayer for Pregnant Women to Take a Lunar Eclipse Bath

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised Muslims to remember Allah, worship, and give charity during an eclipse, as mentioned in the authentic hadiths of Bukhari and Muslim. Therefore, if a pregnant woman bathes during a lunar eclipse, it is recommended to recite the following prayer:" Note: The translation provided is a general translation and may not capture the exact meaning or nuances of the original text.
