The ruling on leaving out the additional takbirs in the prayer for rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to leave out the takbirs in the prayer for rain, and if a person leaves them out, what is required of him?
Answer:
The takbirs in the prayer for rain are a recommended practice (sunnah). If a person leaves them out, he owes nothing, because they are recommended (mustahabb). This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the prayer for rain what he did in the festival prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbirs and the additional takbirs in the festival prayer, so the prayer for rain is like it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
