Forecasting Rainfall and Weather Reports

Answer:
This is a forecast, not news. It is not news. The one who asserts with certainty, saying, "It will rain tomorrow," is considered a disbeliever because he has claimed knowledge of the Unseen.
But the one who says, "It is expected that rain will occur because the signs indicate this," is speaking in terms of expectation; it may happen or it may not. This is a matter of expectation. However, it is better for people to refrain from this and from issuing such reports, because it causes some confusion or doubt among people. So leaving these matters alone is better and safer for people's beliefs. But it is a matter of expectation, and I do not think they assert with certainty. The weather forecasters do not assert; they say, "It is expected that such and such will occur," or "Such and such may occur." They do not say, "The rain will fall" or "The rain will occur." They do not say that, and no Muslim says that. Yes.
