The ruling on raising the hands in supplication when the iqamah is called

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I saw the imam of a mosque raising his hands and making supplication during the iqamah for prayer. When I asked him about it, he said that supplication is reported to be accepted when the iqamah is called. Is this correct?

Answer:
What is reported is that supplication is not rejected between the adhan and the iqamah. As for the time of the iqamah, the mu'adhdhin follows the imam and says what the imam says.
