What is Imam Abu Hanifah's legal position regarding a specific congregational prayer for Istisqa'?
The Rain Prayer (صلاة الاستسقاء)
- It is an absolute Fard obligation.
- There is no Sunnah congregational prayer; rather, it consists of individual repentance, seeking forgiveness, and du'a.
- It must be performed in three congregational units with loud recitation.
- Only women are permitted to pray it in congregation.
