Are the hands raised in every supplication, and is it permissible to raise the hands between the adhan and the iqamah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are there specific supplications in which the hands are raised, while in others they are not? Or are the hands raised in every supplication, seeking a response, based on the hadith: "When a servant raises his hands, Allah is too shy to return them empty"? And is it permissible to raise the hands between the adhan and the iqamah?

Answer:
The default is to raise the hands in supplication, as this is among the causes of a response being granted, except for those instances where it is established that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made a supplication without raising his hands; in those cases, the hands are not raised. This is the rule.
