The Manner of the Prayer for Rain and Its Ruling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The brother 'Isam Mujahid from Yemen asks about the ruling on the prayer for rain. He says: Does it include takbir (saying Allahu akbar) or not? Because some of us here say it, and others do not.
The Shaykh:
Its manner is like the manner of the festival prayer. Like the manner of the festival prayer in its place and in what is done in it, with the addition of asking Allah for rain and the sending down of rain. Yes.
The questioner:
And what is its ruling, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
It is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice) when there is a need. Yes. Yes.
