The Legitimacy of the Prayer for Rain for Female Students
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some female students ask this question, Shaykh Salih. They say: Some female students in their schools perform the prayer for rain. Is the prayer for rain prescribed for female students so that one of them leads them in prayer and then delivers the sermon to them?
Answer:
The prescribed practice is for Muslims to go out for the prayer for rain to the Eid prayer ground, or to the mosques prepared for that purpose, where the Muslims gather to make supplication and call for aid. This is without doubt the original and prescribed practice. However, if they do this without missing their lessons or other important benefits that would be lost by their going out, then there is no harm in that, if Allah wills. Yes.
