Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The presenter:
May you be well, Shaykh. May Allah welcome you. Please, the Shaykh, may Allah… Please, may Allah preserve you.
The questioner:
Ask your question. May Allah reward you with good. Regarding the prayer for rain, Shaykh, on Monday? It coincides with work, so some people cannot be late for work, as it is at seven o’clock in some cities. So one cannot be late for his work. What is the ruling in that? Thank you. And is the prayer for rain permissible on Thursday?
The Shaykh:
The prayer for rain is permissible on any day of the week, whether Thursday, Monday, or any other day, according to need. Work does not prevent one from the prayer for rain; he prays the prayer for rain and then goes to work. This is an exception. Yes.
