What is the ruling on raising the hands in the supplication for rain and other supplications

Question:
And finally, he asks, saying: Is it better to raise the hands during supplication at all times other than the supplication for rain, or is it better not to raise them?

Answer:
It is better to raise the hands in supplication; this is the best, because it is among the causes of the supplication being answered. However, in the cases where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands, we do not raise them. In all other cases, we raise our hands in the places where he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised them, such as the prayer for rain, the sermon for rain, and in the places where we make supplication, we raise our hands. But in the places where he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands, such as the obligatory prayer, I do not know that he raised his hands between the two prostrations, or before the closing salam, or after the closing salam. If he had done so, it would have been reported; if he had done so, the Companions would have reported it, for they did not leave anything of him (peace and blessings be upon him) without reporting it. So the fact that they did not report that he raised his hands after the obligatory prayer indicates that it is not prescribed. Likewise, in the Friday sermon, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands in the Friday sermon, nor in the sermon for the festival, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. So we do not raise our hands except when we are seeking rain; in the Friday and festival sermons, we raise our hands for seeking rain. Yes.
