The ruling on a woman leading the prayer for rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you. Another question says: In some girls' schools today, they prayed the prayer for rain and one of the women led them.
Answer:
This is not permissible. A woman does not lead, neither in the prayer for rain nor in any other prayer. A woman’s leading is invalid, whether for men or for women. They are exercising independent legal reasoning in this matter, may Allah reward them with good, but they do not return to it.
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a nursing woman
Answer:
If they gather in a place and call upon Allah, and they limit themselves to supplication, that is one of the types of seeking rain: he supplicates even if he does not pray. Yes.
