Question:
The questioner says: A man wanted to perform wudu' but could not find water, so it rained, and the rain reached all the limbs required for wudu', even though he intended the order and the wudu'. What is the ruling?
Answer:
Rain is sufficient if it is poured from a spout or from a high place, and he exposes his limbs to it with the intention, along with the intention of wudu'; there is no harm in that. However, raindrops are not sufficient for wudu' because they are not abundant.
