Is raising the hands for supplication between the two sermons a religious innovation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people, O Shaykh, criticize the one who raises his hands in supplication between the two sermons.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : They say that this was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : Yes, this is one of the possible things. This is one of the possible things, because the original ruling for supplication is that among its etiquettes is raising the hands. So one does not criticize the one who does this, nor is it commanded.
The questioner : And the more apparent view, O Shaykh,
The Shaykh : By Allah, nothing appears to me. I see that this is one of the things that is not criticized and not commanded. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : They say that this was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
