Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the Friday sermon, if the khatib supplicates for rain and raises his hands, do the congregation raise their hands?

Answer:
Yes, they raise their hands just as the imam raises his hands. This is a recommended practice (sunnah). Yes.
