Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
How does one lift the hands when the takbir of dua-e-qunoot is done. I have seen two ways:
1) the hands are taken straight up to the earlobes then folded again.
2) the hands are let loose down the side for a split second then taken up to the earlobes and then folded again.
Please state the optimum way of carrying out the process.
Answer:
Al-Salam alaykum
Procedure 1. (i.e. the hands are taken straight up to the earlobes then folded again) is the way it should be done.
Abu Usamah
Faraz notes: “Procedure 1” is what is mentioned by al-Shurunbulali in his Maraqiand by Ibn Abidin.
