Namaz-e-Kusoof (Salat al-Kusoof) is the special prayer performed during a solar eclipse. It is a recommended Sunnah prayer for both men and women, performed from the beginning of the solar eclipse until it ends. The prayer consists of two rak'ahs, each with two bowings (ruku') and two prostrations (sujood). The term 'Kusoof' specifically refers to solar eclipse, while 'Khusuf' refers to lunar eclipse. Therefore, Namaz-e-Kusoof is offered at the time of a solar eclipse, not a lunar eclipse.

Based on multiple historical sources, Imam Shafi'i was authorized to issue judicial rulings and serve as a religious judge (Qadi) at the age of 15, not 13.

Therefore, option D is correct.
