The manner of raising the hands in prayer for a woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How much is a woman required to raise her hands in prayer during the takbir?

Answer:
Like the man, she raises her hands when entering the state of ihram, when bowing, when rising from the bow, and when standing up from the first tashahhud to the third rak'ah. This is the recommended practice (sunnah) for both men and women. She raises her hands to the level of her shoulders, or to the level of her ears, at the first takbir, when bowing, when rising from the bow, and when standing up from the first tashahhud. She does as the man does: when she sits, she spreads her legs between the two prostrations, and in the first tashahhud. She sits in the tawruk position in the final tashahhud. This is the correct view; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayersصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
and he did not say to the woman "do this" and to the man "do that." So the hadiths are general and include both men and women. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
