The ruling on raising the hands in prayer behind the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah do you good. In the congregational prayer, during the supplication, during the calamities, and during the qunut, I say: Do the ma'mumin (those praying behind the imam) raise their hands as well?
The Shaykh:
Yes, follow the imam. If the imam bows, lower your head like listening. If he bows, lower your head.
The questioner:
Following him, or not?
The Shaykh:
If he raises them, raise them. The sunnah (recommended practice) is that if he raises them, you raise them.
