Some students of knowledge do not go out for the prayer for rain, claiming that sins are present, so how can we call upon Allah when we have not changed our circumstances?

The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : Some students of knowledge do not go out for the prayer for rain, claiming that sins are present. So how can we call upon Allah when we have not changed our circumstances?

The Shaykh : This is a mistake. This is a mistake, because all calamities may be due to sins, as the Exalted said: . Or they may be a test from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) by which He tests the servant to see if he will be patient or not. That is one point. Second: if we say that we have sins upon us, is this prayer not among the means for the forgiveness of sins? So let us go out to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), let us supplicate to Him in the open fields, asking Him for rain, and let us worship Him through prayer, dhikr, and other acts. Therefore, I hope that our brothers, the students of knowledge, if the question is valid, will reflect on the matter, and not discourage people from good, but rather encourage them to it. Yes.
