Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, does the khatib raise his hands in the Friday sermon, and do the congregation do the same, when making the supplication for rain? This is because there is a statement from some scholars regarding the permissibility of that and acting upon it?
Answer:
As for the khatib, he raises his hands. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands in the Friday sermon and asked for rain. As for the congregation, they say "Ameen" to the khatib's supplication. As for the khatib, he raises his hands, because this is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He does not raise his hands in the Friday sermon except specifically in the supplication for rain.
