Does the hadith (Indeed, Allah is shy and generous, and He is shy to return the hands of His servant to him empty) indicate the permissibility of raising the hands in supplication?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It was established in the answer to a previous question that the time between the adhan and the iqamah is not a place for raising the hands in supplication. So what is meant by the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, Allah is shy, and He is shy to return the hands of His servant to him empty"? And it is known that raising the hands is among the etiquettes of supplication.

The Shaykh:
In general, it is not the case that you raise your hands in every supplication, except in those where it is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands. It is not in every supplication. Do you raise your hands in the final tashahhud where there is supplication? No. It is not in every supplication that you raise your hands. There are supplications in which the hands are not raised. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people say.

The Shaykh:
Do you raise your hands in supplication during the ruku' or the sujud? You do not raise your hands; this has not been reported. Yes.
