Question:
The questioner says: Some people are keen to fast and give charity on the day designated for the prayer for rain, and they encourage people to do so. Is this matter prescribed?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Encouraging people to repent and seek forgiveness before the prayer for rain, and to give charity and do good, is without doubt among the preliminaries of seeking aid and among the causes for the acceptance of seeking aid by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
