Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: What is your opinion of one who consistently makes supplication between the adhan and the iqamah while raising his hands? Because some have claimed that consistently raising the hands in this place is a bid'ah (religious innovation), right? He says: What is your opinion of one who consistently makes supplication between the adhan and the iqamah while raising his hands? Because some have claimed that consistently raising the hands in this place is a bid'ah; because the raising here is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and what is prescribed is raising the hands at times and leaving it at times.
Answer:
By Allah, I see that raising the hands, whether at times or consistently, is not prescribed. One makes supplication without raising his hands. One makes supplication without raising his hands. Yes.
