Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the Sunnah when it rains? How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform istisqa' (the prayer for rain)? And what was the Prophetic guidance in this matter?
Answer:
What the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do in istisqa' consisted of two forms: one is that he would supplicate without prayer, and the other is that he would pray and supplicate. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out to the rain as soon as it began to fall, uncovering his head so that the rain would touch him, saying that it is fresh from its Lord. Yes.
