Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We asked Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Jibreen, may Allaah preserve him, and he answered as follows:
It is permissible for Muslims to pray for rain in the land of the kuffaar even if that will benefit the kuffaar too.
