The questioner : Okay, what is the ruling on raising the hands for supplication after prayer, in the obligatory and the recommended?
The Shaykh : A religious innovation.
The questioner : Not in congregation, meaning alone.
The Shaykh: Alone, it is a religious innovation (bid'ah), unless something unexpected occurs, in which case he supplicates and raises his hands, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, consistently raising the hands in supplication after the obligatory or voluntary prayer is not from the Sunnah.
