Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the criterion for raising the hands in supplication? When do we raise them, and when do we not raise them?

Answer:
In the instances where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplication and did not raise his hands, we do not raise our hands. In all other cases, the default in supplication is to raise the hands, because it is one of the causes of acceptance. However, in the instances where it is established that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplication without raising his hands, we do not raise our hands. Yes.
