ANSWER:

Cloud seeding is a means, and using means is permissible as long as they do not involve haram or shirk. Rain is still from Allah, and it is Allah who sends and allows it.

QUESTION: I have a question regarding cloud seeding. Cloud seeding is a process through which chemicals are sprayed into clouds to encourage more rainfall. This process is now widely used in Arab countries like the Emirates. Is conducting cloud seeding operations permissible to tackle water scarcity or will it be going against the idea that Allah sends down rain ?
