Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Is there any harm in raising the hands after concluding the prayer or in any supplication? Is there any harm in that?
The Shaykh : Concluding the prayer before the taslim: Yes, do not raise the hands. The apparent Sunnah, which is as if you are witnessing it, is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands in supplication during the prayer, except in the qunut.
As for after the prayer, after the obligatory prayer comes dhikr, as Allah the Exalted said:.
And after the voluntary prayer, there is no dhikr as far as we know, and no supplication either as far as we know. So there is no need for supplication, neither with raising the hands nor without raising them.
