The ma'mum raising his hands with the khatib during the supplication on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the khatib supplicates on Friday and raises his hands, is it prescribed for the ma'mum to raise his hand with the khatib? What is the ruling? If the khatib supplicates on Friday and raises his hands, is it prescribed for the ma'mum to raise his hands like him?

Answer:
It is not permissible for the imam or the ma'mum to raise their hands in the Friday khutbah, except if he supplicates for rain. If he supplicates for rain, he raises his hands and those present raise their hands. This is specific to the supplication for rain in the Friday khutbah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and the people raised their hands, and he sought rain for them. As for supplication other than for rain, it is not permissible for the imam or the ma'mum. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation).
