Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the people need rain to fall, is it permissible for them to perform the prayer for rain at a time other than the usual rainy season?
Answer:
This rain has a usual time, and Allah does not send it down except at a usual time. Allah is capable of everything. The important thing is that the need requires rain, whether for their drinking water, their crops, or for… so they call for aid. Yes, at any time. Yes.
