Istisqa' in the Friday Sermon Every Week
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people say that one should seek rain every week, and at every Friday prayer. Is this action part of the Sunnah?
Answer:
Seeking rain in the Friday sermon: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this when there was a need, if the rain was withheld and the land suffered. It is recommended for every preacher to supplicate for rain in the Friday sermon, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. May Allah protect you in the hall, so do not fear.
All of these were reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The first type is the prayer, followed by the sermon and supplication, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. The second type is supplication in the Friday sermon and seeking clarity in the Friday sermon, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. The third type is pure supplication without a sermon and without a prayer, asking Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for rain without a prayer and without a specific order. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
