If the ruler of a state is neglecting the Sunnah of praying for rain
(salaat al-istisqaa'), and he does not call the people to offer this
prayer when there is no rain or the wells have dried up, is it
permissible for the imaamof one of the mosques in that country to call
the people of his city to offer the prayer for rain and forthem to go
out on their own to offer this prayer?
Praise be to Allaah.
If the people of a city are not ordered by their ruler to offer the
Eid prayers or prayers for rain, then it is prescribed for them to
offer the Eid prayer and prayers for rain in the desert (i.e., outside
the city) if that is possible, or else in the mosques, because the
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prescribed that
for his ummah. Eid prayer is fard kafaayah (i.e., if some members of
the community undertake this duty, the rest are free from blame, but
if no one does it, all will be held to blame), so it is not
permissible for the Muslims in any city to neglect it. Some of the
scholars said that it is fard'ayn (an individual obligation) like
Jumu'ah prayers, because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) did itand ordered others to do it.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
