I interpret the rule as requiring:

He asked, "Did she say 'Is it raining?'"

That is, the first part of the rule says: "When the quoted sentence ends with a question mark or exclamation mark," (in this case "Is it raining?") "this should be placed within the closing quotation mark", and so that would talking of the inner quotes.
