Ruling
concerning raising one's hands during the supplications of
the Witr prayer
Question:
What is the ruling concerning raising one's hands during the
Witr Prayer?
Response:
It is legally sanctioned to raise one's hands during the supplications
of the Witr Prayer. This is because it is similar to the supplications
during times of affliction. It is confirmed that the Prophet
(sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) used to raise his hands while
supplicating during times of affliction. This was recorded
by al-Bayhaqee, may Allaah have mercy on him, with an authentic
chain.
