Is it permissible to supplicate to Allah while looking up at the sky?
The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory to look up at the sky. One raises his hands to Allah, raising them toward the sky to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). If one looks up at the sky while not in prayer, there is no harm in it. However, it is not among the etiquettes of supplication. Yes.
