The questioner : It is simultaneous with the takbir.
The Shaykh : Fine, all of this is mentioned in the Sunnah. I mean, regarding raising the hands with the takbir, it is mentioned in the Sunnah in three ways: one says the takbir then raises the hands, one raises the hands then says the takbir, and one begins raising the hands at the same time as beginning the takbir. So it is one of the varied forms of worship. Yes?
