Question:
We left 'Arafah while the rain was pouring down, and we were on top of the bus, so everyone was covered with a large blanket. One of us was holding the blanket with one hand, and raising it above his head with the other. Do we owe anything?
Answer:
If you raised it above your heads, there is no harm in that. What is forbidden is that it touches the heads. So if you raised it above your heads with your hands, or with a stick, or otherwise, there is no harm, as you are seeking shelter from the rain or the sun. Yes.
