1a. Ruling on raising the hands when offering supplication (du‘aa’) after burying the deceased

1a.
Theissue of raising the hands or not may be as follows:
1. Where there is a text which speaks of raising the hands, such
as offering supplication (du'aa') in 'Arafah, offeringsupplication at
the first and second Jamarah, and praying for rain (istisqa')
2. Where there is no mention of raising the hands, such as the
supplication in the Friday sermon (khutbah), when no one is to raise
his hands in supplication, neither the khateeb nor the members of the
congregation, because theMessenger (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) did not raise his hands although he delivered so many
khutbahs to the people.

hands or not
