Are the hands raised with the takbir at every lowering and raising?

The questioner : All right, regarding the takbir, sometimes one says the takbir at every lowering and raising, and...?

The Shaykh : No, what is prescribed is to say the takbir at every lowering and raising, but are you asking about the takbir or about the raising?

The questioner : The raising.

The Shaykh : The raising. One raises his hands with every takbir, but some of this raising is stronger than some. The raising at the takbir of ihram is stronger than the raising at the ruku' and the rising from it—excuse me—at the ruku' and the rising from it. And this raising at the ruku' and the rising from it is stronger than the raising of the hands when one stands up from the first tashahhud to the third rak'ah. And this raising in all these types is stronger than the raising in the other takbirs; that is, there is a raising that is either confirmed—namely, what was mentioned earlier—and a recommended practice that is desirable—namely, what remains of the takbirs—such as the lowering into the sujud, such as raising the head from the sujud, such as returning to the second prostration, such as raising the head from the second prostration to the second rak'ah. It is recommended to raise the hands in these takbirs. So, what is prescribed is to raise the hands with every takbir, but with attention to the difference between a confirmed recommended practice and a desirable recommended practice.
