Raising the hands in supplication after the obligatory prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I prayed the 'Asr prayer today next to one of the brothers, and after the prayer I raised my hands for supplication. He told me that it is not permissible to raise the hands in supplication after the obligatory prayer.
Answer:
This is correct. It is not permissible to raise the hands for supplication after the obligatory prayer, because this was not known from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the Salaf that they raised their hands after the obligatory prayers. Rather, this is after the voluntary prayer, and there is no harm in it.
