The ruling on what is called artificial rainmaking

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some students of knowledge say that artificial rainmaking now is permissible and does not contradict the fact that it is Allah who sends down the rain. Is this correct?

Answer:
I do not know. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:69]
I believe in this and that the rain does not come down except from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for them, they may believe whatever they wish. Yes.
