The ruling on raising the hands in the takbirs of the funeral and 'Id prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it correct to raise the hands in every takbir in the funeral prayer, or does one say takbir without raising the hands? And likewise in the 'Id prayer?
Answer:
Raising the hands is better, and if one does not raise them, there is no harm. Raising the hands is better because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his hands in the takbirs of the funeral prayer, and similarly in the takbirs of the 'Id prayer. The recommended practice (sunnah) is to raise the hands, because these are takbirs for standing, so they resemble the opening takbir and the takbir for bowing. One raises his hands in all the prayers: when he says takbir, he raises his hands, and when he says takbir for bowing, he raises his hands. So it is better to raise the hands in the takbirs of the funeral prayer. Some scholars said: one raises his hands only in the first takbir.
The correct view is that it is better to raise the hands in all of them, in all the takbirs of the funeral prayer and the takbirs of the 'Id prayer. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
