The manner of raising the hands at al-Safa and reciting the verse of al-Safa and al-Marwah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. What is the manner of raising the hands at al-Safa? And does one recite the saying of Allah
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwahإِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:158]
to the end of the verse while standing or while walking?

The Shaykh:
One recites the verse when he exits the door intending to go to al-Safa. When he exits the mosque door intending to go to al-Safa, he recites the verse. As for when he climbs up to al-Safa, he raises his hands as he raises them in supplication, like this. He raises his hands like this, as in supplication, and he supplicates to Allah at al-Safa, and likewise at al-Marwah. Yes.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes, he sits on the camel. Yes, of course. And... it does not contradict, if he is called to walk, it does not contradict. There is no harm. If he supplicates for the entire stretch while he is supplicating, that is good. Occupying the stretch with the remembrance of Allah and supplication is good. Yes.
