The questioner: Your Eminence! Regarding the prayer for rain, if a group enters the mosque while the imam is delivering the sermon and the two rak'ahs have already been prayed, do they pray it, or do they sit for the sermon? And is it made up?
The Shaykh: If they did not catch the prayer for rain, it has passed. However, if they arrive while the imam is delivering the sermon, they pray two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque, then sit to listen to the sermon and say "Ameen" to the imam's supplication.
The questioner: Do they pray it in congregation?The Shaykh: They do not pray it in congregation because it has passed.
