Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Is it permissible for the imam to raise his hands during the supplication in the Friday sermon, and likewise for the congregation?
Answer:
This applies to the prayer for rain. If he supplicates for rain, he raises his hands. As for supplication other than for rain, it is not permissible to raise the hands, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands except in the prayer for rain.
