Answer: It is Sunnah to lick one’s fingers after meals.

Imam Tabrani R.A quotes Sayyiduna Ka'b Ibn Ujrah Radiyallahu Anhu as saying: " I saw Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam eating with three fingers which were the thumb, the index and the middle finger. Thereafter, I saw him licking them in the following sequence; firstly, the middle finger, then the index finger and lastly, the thumb. (Majma Vol 5 Page 19)

Question: When should Salatul Istisqaa be performed?

Answer: Salatul Istisqaa is a Salaah that is performed to seek rain at a time of severe water shortage: when rain has been withheld and there is insufficient water in the rivers and dams. [Radul Muhthar Vol 1 Page 883]

وشرعا: طلب انزال المطر بكيفية مخصوصة عند شدة الحاجة بان يحبس المطر ، ولم يكن لهم ادوية وابار وانهار يشربون منها ويسقون مواشيهم وزرعهم، او كان ذلك الا انه لا يكفي، فاذا كان كافيا لا يستسقي كما في المحيط ( رد المحتار ج1 ص 888)
