Is it permissible to raise the hands in supplication?

Question:
This person is asking about raising the hands in supplication.

Answer:
The default in supplication is to raise the hands; this is the default because it is among the causes of the supplication being answered and among the etiquettes of supplication, except in the places where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated and did not raise his hands, such as supplication during the bowing, supplication during the prostration, between the two prostrations, and in the final sitting. This is what has been reported regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raising his hands in these instances, so we do not raise our hands in them. In all other cases, the hands are raised in supplication; this is more complete and better. Yes.
