The ruling on raising the hands during prostration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on raising one's hands during prostration, whether in the obligatory prayer, or in the prostration of recitation, or the prostration of gratitude, or the prostration for forgetfulness?

Answer:
As for raising one's hands during prostration in the obligatory prayer or in the prostration of the Prophet, there is no basis for this, so it is not permissible. May Allah know best regarding the prayer. As for raising one's hands when saying the takbir for the prostration of recitation or the prostration of gratitude, there is nothing wrong with it. Some scholars hold that one says the takbir when going down into prostration, says the takbir when rising, and says the salam without prostrating again. This is more complete; if one does this, it is more complete. I mean, this is outside the prayer.
