The ruling on the prayer for rain after the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the prayer for rain after the Friday prayer?

The Shaykh:
One seeks rain in the Friday sermon and does not pray it after the Friday prayer; this is not permissible. He supplicates in the Friday sermon and raises his hands, and those present say "Ameen" to his supplication, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.

This questioner says:

The Shaykh:
So seeking rain is of three types, as Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned. Seeking rain by supplication and raising the hands. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did both: he sought rain while sitting and raised his hands. The Companions raised their hands, so he supplicated while they said "Ameen." The second is seeking rain in the Friday sermon. The third is seeking rain after the prayer for rain: the prayer for rain is performed, then he delivers a sermon and supplicates, and they say "Ameen" to his supplication. All of this is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
