Inducing Rain from Clouds and Attributing the Descent of Rain to It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh is asking. He says: We have heard in the past period of people who say that the rains that fell on our land were the result of inducing rain from the clouds or treating the clouds. What is your opinion of this statement? And what is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding it?
Answer:
This came from where? It came from the disbelievers. The news came from the disbelievers, and we do not believe the disbelievers. And this sky exists, where is the rain, where is the cloud, where is this? It is a lie against Allah (Mighty and Majestic).[Al-Waqi'ah 56:68-69]? If someone comes and says, "No, we are the ones who make it descend, it is not by you?" We ask Allah for well-being. Yes. Yes, let us listen, yes.

(68) And have you seen the water that you drink? (69) Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ
