Does the shamakh and the koot get turned inside out during the prayer for rain?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does the shammagh and the koot count as turning the cloak inside out?

Answer:
The shammagh does not count, but the koot may count. However, there is no harm in turning the koot inside out, because its status is that of a cloak, as it is an outer garment worn over the upper body. It resembles a cloak, and the bisht resembles a cloak. As for the shammagh or the ghutrah, this is not a garment; it is only on the head. It is not on the upper body or the shoulders, but only on the head. Yes.
