Summary
The article divides supplications into three categories: those where raising the hands is recommended such as istisqa', those where it is not recommended such as within the prayer, and those with neither encouragement nor prohibition. For the khatib's supplication there are two views. The first holds that it is recommended not to raise the hands except for istisqa', and some Hanbali scholars consider it disliked for the imam. The second, such as Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, holds that raising the hands is recommended in every supplication outside the prayer. The provided text ends before the article's final conclusion.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Para ulama mengharuskan untuk mengangkat tangan ketika berdoa bagi doa yang tidak terdapat dalil yang menunjukkan sama ada Rasulullah SAW mengangkat tangan atau tidak.
