The ruling on the dislike of rain falling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The people in my region dislike the rain falling because their houses are made of adobe, and also because the rain brings out the fruits of the rain. Is this permissible for them?
Answer:
Yes, for it is disliked to cause harm, there is no doubt in that. Rain may be a harm to some people, but it is a benefit, and its benefit is greater; indeed, its scope is greater.
Therefore, Allah the Exalted sends down rain even if it is a harm to some people, because its benefit to creation is greater than the partial harm that befalls some people. Allah is Wise and Knowing, Glorified and Exalted is He.
It is disliked for rain to fall at certain times, meaning when one has dates or palm trees, or when the house that the rain enters collapses from the rain. You see that this dislike is fine; it is disliked to cause harm to oneself, and this is not considered a sin. But from the perspective of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
This is the height of wisdom, because when looking at the public benefit, the partial harm that befalls some people is excused.
Yes, and the meaning is that there is nothing that does not contain harm from some aspects, but if its benefit is greater, its utility is greater, then it is praiseworthy and sought after, and the partial harm is excused.
