Placing the Istisqa' Sermon Before the Istisqa' Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to place the Istisqa' sermon before the Istisqa' prayer? And is this in accordance with the Sunnah?
Answer:
This is not in accordance with the Sunnah. The Sunnah is that the Istisqa' prayer is exactly like the 'Id prayer, and the 'Id prayer is performed before the sermon. So the Istisqa' prayer takes on its ruling. It is not the case that the caller offers the prayer on a day when he places the sermon before the Istisqa' prayer. It is not that he merely wants to go against the people. Or he does it so that it is said that he is a scholar and understands. My brothers, my brothers, leave these matters. Yes.
