What is the ruling on standing to make du'a' after the stoning?

Question : This questioner says: What is the ruling on standing to make du'a' after the stoning?

Answer : Standing to make du'a' after the stoning of the Jamarat al-Aqabah on the day of the festival is not a sunnah (recommended practice), and it is not prescribed to stand and make du'a', because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not stand after stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah to make du'a'. Acts of worship are based on specification, meaning they are based on the Shari'ah legislating them; if the Shari'ah has not legislated them, they become bid'ah (religious innovation). As for the days of Tashreeq, it is prescribed to stand after stoning the first Jamarah and after stoning the second Jamarah, facing the qiblah (direction of prayer) and making du'a' to Allah the Exalted for a long time while raising his hands. However, after stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, even on the days after the day of the festival, standing is not prescribed, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not stand after stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah.
