The ruling on performing the prayer for rain inside schools and the dispersion of the worshippers

Question:
A group of students in one of the schools gathered the students on the day of the past [month] for the prayer for rain and the sermon inside the school. Some people objected to them, and the one who objected mentioned that their action was a disruption of the congregation, in addition to their not having permission to do so.

Answer:
This is a clear clarification. This is an action that is not permissible. But these young people, may Allah rectify them, are making incorrect independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), and they do not consult the scholars of knowledge, nor do they refer to the scholars of knowledge. This is a mistake. The prayer for rain and the prayer for the festival are prayed together, and the Friday prayer is prayed together. Do the people not gather?
And it is not permissible for anyone to pray the festival prayer or the prayer for rain except with a ruling from the competent authority under the one in authority. Matters are not chaos; matters are organized, praise be to Allah. There is no chaos. So this action is not permissible. They should seek forgiveness from Allah and not return to such a thing. No, if he missed the festival prayer, he prays it. But as long as it has not yet passed, he goes to pray with the Muslims. It is not permissible to disperse. There is no god but Allah. May Allah send blessings upon him.
