Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on what is now called artificial rain, which is their claim that they do something to the clouds that causes the rain to fall? Is this true? And what is the ruling?
Answer:
No, this idea has not succeeded and has not been beneficial. They say it incurs, they say it incurs, exorbitant costs, and it has not succeeded. Perhaps they can make the rain fall and direct it and channel it on the ground. This is not possible. This is a matter of futility. And it is for the person to look into what is not befitting, yes.
