Wiping the hands after washing them before eating

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by HadithAnswers.com

Question

Is it established from any Hadith that it is Sunnah not dry the hands after washing them before eating?

Answer

I have not come across this in any Hadith.

However, the Fuqaha [Jurists] have recommended that a person should not wipe his hands after washing them before eating. It could therefore be classified as a recommended act.

(Refer: Al Ikhtiyar Li Ta’lilil Mukhtar, vol. 4 pg. 180-181)

Kindly refer to a Mufti/Darul Ifta for a Fatwa on this matter.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
