Does one raise his hands in the supplication for guidance (istikharah) after the closing salam?

Question : To the supplication, seeking forgiveness, to you after the salam.

Answer : Yes. May Allah keep you safe. He raises his hands, yes, this is the default ruling. Although the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that the supplication for guidance is before the closing salam, like other supplications, but the apparent meaning of the hadith, "let him pray two rak'ahs, then let him say," contradicts this view.
