One goes out for salaat il-istisqa’ and it rains
Question: 45
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If the people went out for the prayer for rain (istisqa’) or intended to do so and it rained, then there can be two cases:
- If they were prepared to go out and it rained before they left, then they should thank Allah (subhanahu wa ta‘ala) for His blessings and not leave.
- If they had already come out, they should pray in thankfulness to Allah (subhanahu wa ta‘ala).(Al-Mughni, 2/296)
