Supplication for Delayed Rain and the Time for the Prayer for Rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah prolong your life. I have three questions after the first one. The first is: Allah, may He prolong your life, what is the obligation upon Muslims when the rain is delayed? The second question.
The Shaykh:
Supplication; the obligation is to make supplication.
The questioner:
Yes. And the supplication, O Shaykh, is it only the prayer? I mean, is the time after the sun rises, or after the midday prayer, or the afternoon prayer?
The Shaykh:
The prayer for rain is performed when the sun is high, though there is some disagreement on this.
