Does the rain falling after the death of a righteous man have any connection to his death?

Question:
Before we take calls, we received this question, Shaykh. It is from a sister from Makkah, and she says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, we love you for the sake of Allah and we pray for you. Please answer the questions of the listeners and viewers on these fatwas, for we have truly benefited from your knowledge. May Allah raise your status in both abodes. She says: Her question is, Shaykh, a righteous man passed away, and he was close to goodness, righteousness, and piety; we consider him so, and Allah is his accountant. She says: On that day, after his death, heavy rain fell there. Some people believe that this is connected to it, and so on. She says: I ask the Shaykh to clarify for us the truth of this.

Answer:
There is no doubt that the sending down of rain is by the decree of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, . So the falling of rain has no connection to the death of anyone, but this is a matter of optimism, what Allah willed, and hoping for good, and Allah knows best. But there is no connection between the falling of rain and the death of anyone; rather, when the time for its falling that Allah has decreed comes, He sends it down, Glorified and Exalted is He.
