The ruling on performing the prayer for rain in a school due to the difficulty of performing it in the mosque

Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: We are in a school with more than five hundred students, and we perform the prayer for rain in the school’s prayer hall. What is the ruling on this? It is difficult for the students to go to the mosque outside the school.

Answer:
This requires a fatwa from the Department of Ifta. The prayer for rain and the Friday prayer are not performed except with a fatwa from the Department of Ifta. So your action is not justified. The prayer for rain is not obligatory. If you attend with the worshippers and supplicate with the Muslims, that is a good thing. And if you do not attend, it is not obligatory. It is sufficient for those who are present. Yes.
