Can geologists create clouds using methods they have invented?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In this time, geologists claim that they know a special method by which they create clouds in a specific place, resulting in rain. So, is...?

Answer:
They do not create clouds; only Allah creates them. But they say they can cause rain to fall from the clouds if the clouds are present. They spread things on them—I do not know, chemical substances—and the rain falls from them. Allah knows best. If this method were successful and had succeeded in their lands, why are they afflicted with what they call drought? They call it a scarcity of water, and their livestock die. I see that they do not bring down rain if they are truthful. Yes.
