Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the khatib makes it a habit to supplicate for rain in every Friday khutbah, what is the ruling on his doing so?
Answer:
Istisqa' (the prayer for rain) is for the time of need. It is the time of need when the land becomes barren and the rain is withheld, that they supplicate to Allah for rain, at the time of need.
