Summary
Scholars differ on this matter. Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz held that raising the hands during the Friday sermon is not prescribed except during the prayer for rain, while this ruling adopts the view that worshippers may raise their hands and say amin quietly to the imam's supplication. Wiping the face with both hands after supplication is encouraged by some scholars, but no authentic hadith supports it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, penulis berpendapat boleh mengangkat tangan dan boleh mengaminkan tetapi dengan suara yang perlahan.
