Does the prayer for rain suffice in place of the Duha prayer?

Question:
The questioner says: On this day, after the prayer for rain, some of the worshippers prayed the Duha prayer. The question is: Does the prayer for rain suffice in place of the Duha prayer?

Answer:
No, the prayer for rain is for seeking rain, and the Duha prayer has its own place. However, it is not recommended that they pray it after the prayer for rain; they should pray it when they go out to their homes or offices, so that, for example, people are not misled and say that this is part of the prayer for rain, and it becomes a recommended practice in the future. Avoid this; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray before or after the Eid prayer, and the prayer for rain is like the Eid prayer, like the Eid prayer. They said its ruling in its place and location is like the Eid.
