A Woman’s Prayer for Rain and Turning Her Abaya
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to pray the prayer for rain? And should she turn her abaya?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the woman goes out and prays the prayer for rain with them, just as she goes out for the festival prayer. In fact, they take out the children, and even the livestock, in order to display poverty and need, because the livestock also need it. They go to great lengths in seeking rain from Allah and display their poverty and need.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
As for women, she does not turn her clothing or her abaya; this has not been reported.
