Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the wisdom behind raising the hands during the takbir in prayer, and likewise in tawaf, at the beginning of tawaf?
Answer:
They have mentioned many opinions on this, as al-Shawkani did in Nail al-Authar, which you have. It was said that it is the adornment of the prayer; raising the hands is the adornment of the prayer. It was also said that it is a sign of humility and submission before Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. It was said that it is for lifting the veil between a person and his Lord, among other things. Allah knows best. Yes.
