Raising the hands in Du'aa after the 5 daily Prayers

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

Raising the hands in Du'aa after the 5 daily Prayers​

Question:

Raising the hands in duaa (supplication) after the 5 prayers – is the raising of them established from the Prophet sal Allaahu alaiyhi wa sallam or not? And if it is not established, then is it permissible to raise them after the 5 prayers or not?

Answer:

It is not established from the Prophet (sal Allaahu alaiyhi wa sallam) as far as we know that he raised his hands in duaa after the salaam in the obligatory prayers – and to raise them after the salaam in the obligatory prayer is in opposition to the Sunnah.

And with Allaah is the tawfeeq. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.

thnks sis

 

[zarhad]

Ive seen people simple put there hands on there top leg palms up well sitting cross legged and people raising there hands in front of there face...is the other way in correct?

 

[Ghira]

Make sure you emphasize that Prophet (saw) did raise his hands when he supplicated but NOT after Every obligatory Salaah. One time he raised his hands so high towards the sky that the companions could see his pit of his underarm. It was during troubling times and he wanted victory to come soon. I can look up hadith if you like. Yes, after every salaah raising the hands is bidaa but why do people have to completely abandon it...that is NOT SUNNAH. There is a hadith that says:

“Allah is nobly reserved and generous. He feels shy from a servant who raises to Him his two hands to turn them away empty.” [Sunan al-Trimidhî and Musnad Ahmad with an authentic chain of transmission]

Allah knows best.

Yes, after every salaah raising the hands is bidaa .

realy :s .. wot exactly u mean by raising hand...?(making dua)? :s sorry im confused

 

[chacha_jalebi]

salaam

as long as its not made a habit of den its fine like once a while, bcos afta salaah you feel good and close to Allah (swt) so obviously you'll praise him and make dua

but but afta salah,we know that Prophet (sal Allah hu aleyhi wasalam) usd to say astaghfirullah 3 times and den the other duas
and obviously ppl aint gna put there hands up and say astaghfirullah.so afta d salah we sud do wot it say in sunnah+ then we can pray for ourselfs but we dnt gota raise hands,once a while is k, get mee

 

[jzcasejz]

As-Salaamu'alaykum

JazaakAllaah Khayr for this. So you just utter the Du'a without raising your hand right?

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

lol wat if u read dhikr/recite ayatul kursi and make dua', technically its not right afta the fard lol

 

[Umm Yoosuf]

Assalaamu ALiakum Wa Rahmatulaahi Wa Barakatuh:

These are things the Prophet (pbuh) used to say after finishing the fard Salaats:

1) When the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) finished his prayers, he started with his saying of "Astagh-firullaah" three times. [1]

2) Then he would say "Allaahumma antas-Salaamu wa minkas-Salaam, tabaarakta yaa thal-jalaali wal-ikraam." [2]

3) Then he would say the other reported supplications, like, "Laa ilaaha ill Allaah wa laa na'budu illaa iyyaah..." [3]

4) Then he would commence making the tasbeehs, saying, "sub-haan Allaah," "al-hamdu lillaah," and "Allaahu akbar," 33 times each. [4]

5) Then he would recite Aayah Al-Kursee, as it is what has been reported that he (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) used to recite after each prayer. [5]

As for the recitation of Soorah Al-Ikhlaas, Soorah Al-Falaq, and Soorah An-Naas, then they are to be recited in the morning and in the evening only. It has not been authentically narrated, to the best of my knowledge, that they were recited after each prayer, and Allaah knows best. [6]

[IbnAbdulHakim]

neway seriously, i'll research into this properly. but i really doubt this is bid'a... seriously..

 

[S_87]

in addition to this one of the best times for dua is when one is prostrating as narrated in sahih muslim and before salam

From the fatwa committee:

It is not established from the Prophet (sal Allaahu alaiyhi wa sallam) as far as we know that he raised his hands in duaa after the salaam in the obligatory prayers.

So does this mean you have something from the Prophet salAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam to support this act then? Otherwise akhee, you are simply following your 'aql/hawwaa. And Islam is not based upon that.

Ahhhhhhh.
