Is the prayer for rain prescribed as soon as the rainy season begins?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the prayer for rain prescribed as soon as the rainy season begins? The causes are: if the land becomes drought-stricken or the water sources dry up

Answer:
and people need water for drinking and irrigating their farms, they ask for rain. Likewise, if the land and pastures become barren, they ask for rain. So the prayer for rain is performed when there is a need. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
