Is it permissible to raise the hands during supplication in the Friday sermon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to raise the hands during supplication in the Friday sermon?

Answer:
If he is praying for rain in the sermon, he raises his hands and those present raise their hands, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions did when they prayed for rain in the Friday sermon. As for other than praying for rain, it is not permissible to raise the hands in the Friday sermon, and it is not permissible for those present to raise their hands. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and they are to be rebuked for it. Yes.
