What is the ruling on raising the hands in the manner of entering the prayer on al-Safa and al-Marwah?

Question : What is the ruling on raising the hands during the takbir above al-Safa or al-Marwah? I mean raising the hands in the manner of one who intends to enter into prayer, as I see people doing this?

Answer : Yes, these people who raise their hands at al-Safa and al-Marwah and gesture with them as if they want to say takbir for prayer have no knowledge of this. The prescribed manner of raising the hands at al-Safa and al-Marwah is to raise them in the manner of supplication. We have explained this in our discussion on the description of Hajj and 'Umrah, so refer to it in the recording. Likewise, when pointing to the Black Stone, many people point to it as if they want to enter into prayer, and this also has no basis. Rather, one points to it with one hand, the right hand, as a sign, merely a marker and designation. Yes.
