Question

What is the Sharia ruling regarding the imaam lifting hands and making dua after fardh salaah?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible for the Imaam to lift his hands after salaah and make dua. It is not compulsory to do so.[1] To regard a permissible act as compulsory in Deen is Bid’ah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

و ليعلم ان الدعاء المعمول في زماننا من الدعاء بعد الفريضة رافعين أيديهم علي الهيئة الكذائيه، لم تكن المواظبة عليه في عهده عليه الصلاة و السلام

سعيد
