The Ruling on Performing the Prayer for Rain in Schools

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are many questions asking about the ruling on performing the prayer for rain in schools? Yes. Yes, there are many questions asking about the ruling on performing the prayer for rain in schools to accustom the students to it?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the people to go out to the place of prayer, even the young girls, meaning those who are secluded, and the menstruating women; he ordered them to go out to the place of prayer. So the Muslims go out to the place of prayer: their students, their elders, their old men, and their children; they go out to the place of prayer. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They do not each pray on their own tongue, no, they go out, they manifest, they display their weakness, their poverty, and their need for Allah. They supplicate to Allah all together in one place. This is more conducive to acceptance, and this is more in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
