The supplication of one who missed part of the prayer for rain: is it after the taslim or before it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. As for the one who did not catch the prayer for rain, if we say that he should make up what he missed, is it permissible for him to supplicate before the taslim or after the taslim? And does he pray it in any case, like the other voluntary prayers, for example in the house?
The Shaykh : If we say that it should be made up, and I told you: I do not know of any report (athar) from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, but if he makes it up, it is a voluntary prayer, yet he makes it up in the manner in which the imam performed it. As for the supplication, he supplicates during the prayer, because the imam supplicates after the prayer, directing the people in the sermon, so he supplicates. But this man does not have anyone to preach to so that we would say: preach and direct the people. He has no one. Even if he had someone, the imam's sermon is sufficient.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes.
