Is it permissible for the khatib and those with him to raise their hands during supplication in the Friday sermon?

Abu Malik: Does the khatib and the listener raise their hands in the Friday prayer? I think, it seems he means, regarding the khatib's supplication?

Another questioner : Yes.

The questioner : And is the matter the same at the end of the lessons?

The Shaykh : Regarding supplication on Friday or in the Friday sermon, it is said that it is contrary to the Sunnah, just as we said exactly about qunut in the five prayers. It is only prescribed for a specific occasion, and qunut in the Fajr prayer specifically, we said that it is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and that it is permissible from the perspective of Shari'ah policy, as detailed previously. This statement applies exactly to the khatib's supplication on Friday. That is, it is not prescribed for khatibs on Friday to commit to supplication, especially in the second sermon. Many khatibs make the second sermon for supplication, and this is undoubtedly a matter that contradicts the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) fundamentally. Some of them mix it and blend it with some admonition and knowledge, as done in the first sermon, but they conclude it with some supplication as well.
This conclusion, we say, is like concluding the prayer with supplication in congregation. This has no basis, and this has no basis. Perhaps you know concluding the prayer with supplication?
The audience : Yes.

The Shaykh : The imam, after he says the taslim, turns to the congregation and may order them to say the tashahhud, takbir, and tahmid, as if they had just embraced Islam today and do not know what to do after the obligatory prayer, so he teaches them these things whose permissibility is established by the Shari'ah. Then he raises his hands and supplicates, and he may raise his voice in supplication so they say "Ameen" after him. All this form has no basis in the Sunnah. Likewise, concluding the second Friday sermon. The second Friday sermon, yes, this conclusion is not prescribed.
Commitment. I am speaking now about commitment, because committing to something that the Sunnah never practiced is undoubtedly an innovation. But sometimes what we said regarding the til... what did we say about qunut, may apply to doing this supplication.
So I say: It is obligatory for every khatib to gradually make the second sermon exactly like the first, meaning he does not mix in any supplication except in some cases and for Shari'ah policy, except in some cases and for Shari'ah policy, so that people learn that the second sermon is the completion of the first sermon, about which our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) said: The remembrance of Allah here is the sermon for the sake of admonition, reminding, and advice. As for raising the hands, whether by the khatib or by those being addressed, this is all, as a principle of supplication, has absolutely no basis.
