Is there any prohibition in calling rain or clouds *naw'*?

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In our country, they call the rain *naw'*. They say, "When the rain falls, the *naw'* falls," and so on. This is a colloquial expression in some of our regions. Is there any harm in that?

Answer:
No. The common people call the clouds *naw'*. When they see a shape or something approaching, they say, "The *naw'* has come." They do not mean the star; they mean the clouds themselves. They call it *naw'*. "The *naw'* has come, the *naw'* has gone," meaning the clouds. Yes.
