Question:
Is prayer performed when an earthquake, volcanoes, or severe storms occur?
Answer:
No, this was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It was only reported that some of the Companions prayed when an earthquake occurred, but it was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.
It was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when the winds blew, would fear them and supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), saying: “O Allah, we ask You for the good of this wind and the good in it, and we seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil in what You have commanded it to do.”
He would supplicate when the winds blew and fear them, because they had destroyed a nation among the nations, the people of 'Ad. Likewise, when the clouds approached, he would supplicate to Allah, saying: “O Allah, send down a beneficial rain.” So he would supplicate in these matters, but he did not pray. Yes.
