No, hail requires strong updrafts to form. These do not occur in such shallow clouds as nimbostratus.
nimbostratus clouds
Snow falls from clouds known as nimbostratus clouds. These are dense, thick clouds that produce steady precipitation over a large area.
Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.
Clouds responsible for precipitation are typically nimbostratus clouds, which are thick, dark clouds that cover the sky and bring steady rainfall. Cumulonimbus clouds, which are tall and dense, can also produce heavy rain showers or thunderstorms. Both types of clouds contain water droplets that eventually coalesce and fall as precipitation when they become too heavy to remain suspended in the atmosphere.
Clouds. But technically it is falling from the sky, from clouds in the sky.

no...
Nimbus clouds, specifically nimbostratus and cumulonimbus clouds, are the types of clouds that typically produce rain. These clouds are characterized by their thick, dark appearance and their ability to hold significant amounts of moisture which eventually falls as precipitation.
All clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them. When a clou is really grey the rain in that cloud is going to fall soon. If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!There You Go!AnswerAll clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them.

If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!There You Go!NO NO NO!!!!!!! u have it all wrong!A cumulusnimbus cloud is a rain cloud!Well, at least that's what my science teacher said

Cirrus clouds are high enough to be at a low enough temperature for the water droplets to form into ice crystals. However, Cirrus clouds are not precipitation clouds, so no snow or rain can fall from them. The clouds that can cause snow to fall in the right conditions are Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus clouds.

No, it is not possible for it to be raining without any clouds in the sky. Rain is formed when water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets in clouds, which then fall to the ground as precipitation.
A nimbostratus cloud looks like a thick, dark, gray cloud that often covers the sky and brings continuous precipitation, such as rain or snow. It has a uniform appearance with a veil-like structure, making it difficult to see individual cloud formations within it.
Generally speaking, both stratiform and convective clouds will produce precipitation. So stratus cloud ("scud") and stratocumulus will produce drizzle, cumulus and/or cumulonimbus will produce showers of rain, snow or hail, while altostratus and nimbostratus will produce rain or snow. The middle level cloud altocumulus castellanus will produce light showers. Cirrus is composed of ice crystals and while virga (rain falling but evaporating) can sometimes be seen, high level cloud rarely produces precipitation. Bear in mind that the low, middle and high cloud etages vary in height with latitude so cirrus may be reported over polar regions at 10,000 ft, so it's possible that precipitation may fall from cirrus over high latitude regions.
Same as the clouds that form rain and snow - nimbostratus, for the most part. Freezing rain forms due to a shallow layer of cold air at the surface with above-freezing air above. This is unrelated to cloud types.
