How to Raise the Hands in the Supplication of Qunut

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the manner of raising the hands during the supplication of qunut?

Answer:
The hands are raised in the supplication of qunut and in all other supplications. Raising the hands in supplication is among the etiquettes of supplication, in qunut and otherwise, except where it is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated without raising his hands; in that case, do not raise the hands. As for all other instances where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands, raising the hands is among the etiquettes of supplication, as an expression of need for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). One raises them to the level of the chest, raising the hands to the height of the chest. Yes.
