Is it prescribed to slaughter an animal and give it in charity before the prayer for rain?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When intending to perform the prayer for rain, is it prescribed for a person to slaughter an animal for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and distribute it to the poor, and then ask for rain?

Answer:
This has not been reported. This is what has been reported. Does he give charity? Yes, he gives charity. If he has meat, he gives it in charity. As for slaughtering, no. But if he has meat, he gives charity from the meat, he gives charity from food, he gives charity from clothing. Okay, yes.
