What is the ruling on raising the hands in supplication?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says that supplication is before the taslim and dhikr is after the taslim, and we do not see, meaning, the prescription of raising the hands. So how do we reconcile this with this Prophetic text?
The Shaykh : Where is the Prophetic text?
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Where is the Prophetic text?
The questioner : I do not have the hadith memorized right now, but it is in the book of supplication in the books of du'a, in Sahih al-Bukhari... He titled a chapter on supplication after prayer and raising the hands.
The Shaykh : I am not asking you about what we need to reconcile; what we said is clear, but...
The questioner : What we said is clear, yes.
The Shaykh : So what we need to reconcile with... what is it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ...There is no, my brother, there is no hadith that contradicts what Ibn Taymiyyah said, what Ibn al-Qayyim said, and what your shaykh said. There is nothing there that opposes it at all. As for what al-Bukhari titled, I do not have it in mind right now so that I can answer you about it. Do you have Sahih al-Bukhari here?
The questioner : No, I do not have it here, but I will review it, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : Where is the Prophetic text?
