A question regarding the ruling on consistently raising the hands during supplication

Question:
Between the adhan and the iqamah. What is the ruling on raising the hands for supplication?

Answer:
If a person supplicates and raises his hands, there is nothing wrong with it. Raising the hands is among the causes of supplication being answered, but it should not be done on a consistent basis, sometimes doing it and sometimes not; because it has not been preserved from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to raise his hands between the adhan and the iqamah. However, the general act of raising the hands is of the nature of supplication and is sought, and it is among the causes of supplication being answered. If a person raises his hands at times between the adhan and the iqamah, and at other times when he supplicates to his Lord, all of this is permissible. But not after the obligatory prayer; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands after the obligatory prayer, but rather between the adhan and the iqamah, or after the voluntary prayers, or at times when he prayed or raised his hands and supplicated, and all of this is permissible.
