The ruling on raising the hands during supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another message received from the listener: Khalil Ahmad al-Shamri. Brother Khalil asks a question that you have already answered, which is raising the hands for supplication. Then he asks another question, saying: I was breastfed by a woman. Is it permissible for my brothers to marry her daughters, or not?
Answer:
As for raising the hands, the discussion on this has already been presented, and it is one of the causes for the acceptance of supplication. Raising the hands is among the causes for the acceptance of du'a, except in the places where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands; in those places, we do not raise them. For example, after the obligatory prayer, once we have said the closing salam, we do not raise our hands; we recite the prescribed dhikr without raising them. Likewise, between the two prostrations, we do not raise our hands. And at the end of the prayer, before the salam, we do not raise our hands, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise them.
Likewise, in the Friday and 'Id sermons, we do not raise our hands except in the prayer for rain. When seeking rain and calling for aid, one raises his hands, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. This is a prescribed matter that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to us and clarified for his Ummah through his actions and his words (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, it is prescribed for the Ummah to follow their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in both action and omission: they do what he did and leave what he left (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
