The ruling on raising the hands during the takbir

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Raising the hands, O Shaykh, during the takbir, is that permissible?

Answer:
The takbir of entering prayer. Yes. Yes. During the takbir of entering prayer. This is a sunnah (recommended practice). It is a sign of lifting the veil between him and his Lord. He becomes humble, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And if he raises his hands when going into ruku' (bowing), and raises his hands when rising from ruku', and when lowering himself for sujud (prostration), this is a sunnah. Yes.
