Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
There is no basis for this statement, so the prayer for rain is not called for after the Friday prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
When is it performed?
The Shaykh:
The prayer for rain is performed in its time when the sun has risen, it is said.
The presenter:
On which day of the week?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. One of the brothers asks: If a man catches the imam in bowing, does that count as a unit of prayer for him? Or is he required to repeat the unit because he did not recite al-Fatihah? This is from Salih al-Abidi from Yemen.
The Shaykh:
No, if he catches the bowing, he has caught the unit of prayer, and he is not required to recite al-Fatihah. Yes.
