What are the places where the hands are raised during the takbir in prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What are the places where the hands are raised during the takbir?
The Shaykh : Do you mean in prayer?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There are four places. The first place is at the takbir of ihram. The second place is at the ruku'. The third place is when rising from the ruku'. The fourth place is when standing up from the first tashahhud. That is, when one stands up from the first tashahhud. It is not as some people think, that one raises his hands while sitting and then stands up. That is an error, and the Sunnah does not indicate that. Rather, the Sunnah is that when one stands up, he raises his hands. When he stands up from the first tashahhud, he raises his hands. These are the four places. In any other place, raising the hands is not required.
