Is there a difference between saying: “It rained by such-and-such a constellation” and saying: “It rained during such-and-such a constellation”?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is there a difference between saying “It rained by such-and-such a constellation” and saying “It rained during such-and-such a constellation”?

Answer:
Yes, there is a difference, because the preposition “by” in “by such-and-such a constellation” indicates causality, meaning because of the constellation. As for “It rained during such-and-such a constellation,” it means in that time; the rain fell at such-and-such a time, in summer or in winter. There is nothing wrong with that.
