Published in 19.01.11

Istisqa (rain-seeking) prayers were performed this morning throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in pursuant of the Prophet's Sunnah (Traditions) to perform 'Istisqa' prayers in case of drought or delay in rainfall.

'Istisqa' prayers were also performed at universities and schools in various provinces of the Kingdom. Istisqa prayer at the Holy Mosque of Makkah was attended by Undersecretary of Principality of Makkah Province Dr. Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Khudhairi.
