Jumma Prayers - - Raising one’s hands during the khateeb’s du’aa’ in the second khutbah

What is the ruling on one who raises his hands when the khateebmakes
du'aa' for the Muslims during the second khutbah? Please quote the
evidence (daleel), may Allaah reward you.
Praise be to Allaah.
Raising the hands is not prescribed during the Friday khutbah or the
Eid khutbah, neither for the imaam nor for the members of the
congregation. Rather what is prescribed is to listen attentively to
the imaam and to say ameento his du'aa', saying that to oneself
without raising one's voice. But raising the hands is not prescribed,
because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did
not raise his hands during the Friday khutbah or the Eid khutbah. When
one of the Sahaabah saw one of the governors raising his hands during
the Friday khutbah, he denounced him for that and said that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not raise his
hands. Yes, if the imaam prays for rain during the Friday khutbah,
then he may raise his hands whilst praying for rain, because the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to raise his
hands in this case. So if he prays for rain during theFriday khutbah
or Eid khutbah, then it is prescribed for him to raise his hands,
following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him).
