The Congregation’s Recitation of Supplication in the Prayer for Rain

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
During the supplication, do the congregation stand behind the imam and say “Ameen” to his supplication, or do they say “Ameen” while sitting, or does each person supplicate on his own?

Answer:
If the imam supplicates, they say “Ameen.” If he supplicates during the sermon, they say “Ameen” while sitting. If he turns his back, turns his face toward the qiblah, and faces the qiblah, they stand up, turn their faces toward the qiblah, and supplicate while facing the qiblah, exactly as the imam does. Yes.
