Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the time in which the prayer for rain is performed?
Answer:
It has no specific time; it is performed when there is a need. However, the jurists say that its ruling is the same as the ruling of the festival prayer. The festival prayer is performed between the rising of the sun and its zenith. However, in reality, one seeks rain, but if he wants to perform the prayer for rain, it is like the festival prayer. And if he wants to make supplication only, he supplicates at any time. He raises his hands and supplicates for rain at all times. Yes.
