The ruling on praying behind an imam who does not raise his hands when going into ruku' or after it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Do we pray behind an imam who does not raise his hands when going into ruku' and after it?
Answer:
Raising the hands is a recommended practice (sunnah). If the one praying, whether he is an imam or not, does it, it is a recommended practice. If he leaves it, there is no blame on him. There is nothing wrong with praying behind an imam who does not raise his hands, because he is leaving a recommended practice, not an obligatory one. Yes.
