Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, how are you?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : Good evening to you.
The Shaykh : Alhamdulillah.
The questioner : I have two questions, Shaykh Muhammad. Regarding the Friday prayer, if the khatib explains the supplication, is it permissible for the congregation to raise their hands, Shaykh Muhammad, during the supplication?
The Shaykh : They do not raise them except for the prayer for rain, meaning if he asks for rain and says, “O Allah, send us rain,” then they raise their hands when the imam raises his hand.
The questioner : Okay, if someone raises their hands, is it to be rebuked?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is to be rebuked. After the khutbah, it is said to him: This is not from the Sunnah.
The questioner : If this is from the Sunnah, then what are the times when they are raised, for example, on the two Eids? When, Shaykh, other than for the prayer for rain?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, how are you?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
