Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on slaughtering some livestock and offering their meat to some scholar reciters so that they recite and supplicate to Allah for rain? Does this contradict the Sunnah, or does it fall under the recommended charity during the prayer for rain? These people are being called for the meat, not for the supplication.
Answer:
This is nonsense. If he is sincere, he should give charity, slaughter the animal, and distribute it to the poor of the town; he should not hire reciters with it. Yes.
