Do Not Raise Hands while Praying after Azan

From Rahe Sunnat – Mufti Hifzur Rahman

After completion of Azan, it is Sunnah to pray to Allah Ta’la and utter the supplication/doa that has been described in Hadith.
However, there is no proof that at the time of Rasulullah Sallallahualaiyhiwassalam OR later, i.e. the period of Tabe’yeen/Tabe-Tabe’yeen – prayers were held after Azan by raising hands.

Therefore, Do not practice praying by raising hands after Azan.

Anyone who does so (without knowing) must be politely advised to avoid it.
Prayers after Azan must be uttered without raising hands.
May Allah Ta’la provide us ability to refrain from innovatons (Bid’at) and embrace Sunnah.
