Raising the hands in supplication after the prayer

Question:
Raising the hands in duaa (supplication) after the 5 prayers – is the raising of them established
from the Prophet sal Allaahu alaiyhi wa sallam or not? And if it is not established, then is it
permissible to raise them after the 5 prayers or not?

Answer:
It is not established from the Prophet (sal Allaahu alaiyhi wa sallam) as far as we know that he raised
his hands in duaa after the salaam in the obligatory prayers – and to raise them after the salaam in the
obligatory prayer is in opposition to the Sunnah.

And with Allaah is the tawfeeq. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his
family and his Companions.
