Summary
Raising the hands during Qunut is recommended according to Shafi'i scholars, and this is the sound view among the school's authorities and is well supported by evidence. A second view holds that it is not recommended, since supplications within the prayer, such as in prostration and tashahhud, are made without raising the hands. The matter is a recognised difference of opinion, so those who hold another view should not be censured, and this ruling inclines towards the view that it is recommended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan soalan di atas, mengangkat tangan ketika qunut adalah sunat sebagaimana yang diucapkan ulama bermazhab Syafie dengan beberapa dalil.
