Pointing with the finger to the sky during the Friday sermon when mentioning and supplicating

The questioner : I am confused by what I understood, which is that the imam in the Friday sermon does not point with his finger to the sky in the sermon, because when some of his students asked about that, it seemed as if you denied it. And Muslim narrated in the Book of Friday in his Sahih: It is authentic, and this is what we said.

The Shaykh : That he does not point with his finger except in supplication only, but not when mentioning [Allah], did you understand? So raising the hands in supplication in the sermon is only in the prayer for rain and the prayer for relief from harm, and pointing with the finger is only when supplicating, but in mentioning [Allah], praising, and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the fingers are not raised, nor the arms,

The presenter : like this.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, like this. He lifts it. But pardon, if he raises it, there is no harm, but without intention. Yes.
