The second question of Fatwa No. ( 19296 )
Q 2: Is it better to deliver the sermon for the prayer for rain before the prayer or to delay it until after the prayer? The sermon was delivered before the prayer on one occasion, and some people objected to that. Our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did so. I ask for your guidance, may Allah guide you.
A 2: It is better to perform the prayer for rain before the sermon; because that is the predominant practice of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), especially if delivering the sermon first causes confusion among the congregation.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
