Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed
Translated by Shaykh Hamza Karamali, SunniPath Academy Teacher
We know that the Hanafis (according to what I read on this site) don’t raise their hands during the dua portion of the Friday khutba. But what do Shafi’is say about this? Should we do it or not? I haven’t been able to find an answer to this in any books.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate
It is generally recommended to raise one’s hands and say “ameen” during a du`a. This applies both during the Friday sermon and outside of it [h: since there is nothing that indicates otherwise in the Shafi`i works].
