Raising the Hands in the Supplication for Travel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the supplication for travel and raising the hands in this supplication, is it done inside the house and when mounting the mount? And when are the hands raised in supplication?

Answer:
There is no raising of hands in the supplication; there is no raising of hands in the supplication for travel. Rather, it is that when he mounts, he says:
"Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it. (14) And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14]
O Allah, You are the Companion in the journey and the Guardian of the family. O Allah, make our journey easy for us and bless us after it. O Allah, we seek refuge in You from the hardship of the journey, the sadness of the return, and a bad turn of events in wealth and family. This is the supplication for travel, and there is no raising of the hand in it, because this is what has been transmitted. Yes.
