The ruling of raising the hands in Du`aa’ during the Khutbah:


بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

Question: What is the ruling on raising one's hands while the Khatib (preacher) makes Du`a' (supplication) for Muslims in the second Khutbah? Kindly support your answer with evidences. May Allah reward you well. 

Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله answered: 

It is not Mashroo` (Islamically acceptable) to raise one's hands in Du`aa', either in the Friday Khutbah or the `Eid Khutbah, whether on the part of the Imaam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) or Ma’moom (a person being led by an Imaam in Prayer). It is prescribed to listen attentively to the Khateeb (preacher) and say "Aameen" after he makes Du`aa' quietly without raising one's voice. As for raising the hands, this is not Mashroo`.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not raise his hands either in the Friday Khutbah or the `Eid Khutbah. When some of the Sahaabah (Companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw some rulers raise their hands in the Friday Khutbah, they denounced this, saying that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not raise them. Yet, if he (the Imaam) asks for rain during the Friday Khutbah or the `Eid Khutbah, then he may raise his hands, because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to raise his hands in that situation.
