Istisqa' for those upon whom rain has descended

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you. Sometimes the prayer for rain is called for in various parts of the Kingdom. In some areas there is drought, while in others there is rain and water. Is it recommended for those upon whom rain has descended to go out for the prayer for rain?

Answer:
Yes, because the Muslims are like one body
when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمى
Sahih Muslim 2586a
. So if the rain is withheld from one side, the Muslims in the entire Kingdom pray for rain, supplicating for their brothers that Allah will give them rain and send down the downpour. Yes.
