The Time of the Prayer for Rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: May I speak, Rahil? Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace. May Allah reward you, Shaykh. I have a question about the prayer for rain on Monday morning, after the Fajr prayer. I say, if you would make it Thursday after the 'Asr prayer, Shaykh, because when everyone prays Fajr, no one prays, Shaykh. Is the question clear?
Answer:
The Shaykh: My brother, the prayer for rain is performed according to the order of the one in authority. If he orders it and specifies its time, then it is prayed at that time, whether the sun has risen or it is the time of Duha, according to what the one in authority orders. Yes.
