Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the imam turns his cloak and faces the qiblah for the prayer for rain, is it obligatory for the congregation to stand up for supplication, or are they permitted to supplicate while sitting?
Answer:
What does he say? He turns his cloak while sitting, then stands up, turns his cloak, and faces the minbar to supplicate. Yes, he is standing, and supplication from a standing position is better than supplication from a sitting position.
