Raising one's hands for takbeer-e-tahreemah before the imaam

· 11 Jumada I 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible to just put my hands in the position next to my ears just before the imaam says takbeer-e-tahreema in preparation or will this be counted as سبقت علي الامام?

Answer

You rather raise your hands after the imaam has raised his hands.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
