Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on designating Monday and Thursday specifically for the prayer for rain, to the exclusion of other days?
Answer:
There is no harm. The prayer for rain is permissible on any day, but Thursday and Monday are preferred because they are two days on which the deeds of the servants are presented to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast on these two days, so they have a distinction over other days. Therefore, they are more hopeful for the acceptance of supplication. If they ask for rain on other days, there is no harm. Yes.
