Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If there is open land in the village where I live, is it permissible for people to pray the prayer for rain in it, or must it be in a distant desert?

Answer:
If there is a pure open space, it is prayed in. Even if it is within the built-up area, there is no objection. Yes.
