{"_id":"668d9ffe0b76658b4c232b33","title":"Is it better for a Hanafi to raise their hands in Salah as there are narrations that support the practice?","question":"I have a quick question about Rafa' ul Yadain. I know in the Hanafi school of thought it is not common practice. But I was curious as to if there are more narrations showing the Prophet and Sahaba doing it rather than not doing it. Is it better to do it even if I primarily follow the Hanafi school of thought?","answer":"If you follow the Hanafi school, I recommend sticking to it and not letting others who may raise their hands influence you. This is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and it's not appropriate for anyone to claim the superiority of one opinion over another. Even if someone presents additional narrations of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ raising his hands, it doesn't necessarily imply that raising hands is preferable. Such determinations are the domain of scholars, not laypeople.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232985","tag":"Salah: Validity","count":156},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa0","tag":"Knowledge: Madhabs","count":65},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa3","tag":"Hanafi","count":11}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:26.283Z"}
