Question:
Finally, Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, whose initials are A.M. from the Arab Republic of Egypt, asks about raising the hands when the khatib supplicates from the pulpit. Is it a religious innovation? And when are the hands raised in supplication?
Answer:
The hands are not raised in supplication during the sermon, neither by the imam delivering the sermon nor by the attendees, except in the prayer for rain. If the imam supplicates in the sermon asking Allah the Exalted for rain, he raises his hands, and the congregation raises their hands and says "Ameen" to his supplication. Yes.
