Fatwa #3027 August 2000Pakistan

Prayer without Rafa Yadan (raising hands). Any proof from hadith.

Answer

Today, it is Raf-ul-Yadayn, tomorrow it could be Ameen bil Jahr or Sirr and
following some other differences. Therefore, in the interest of the
community at large, we suggest you continue with the necessary Daáwah work
and propagate the faith at all times.

With regard to the Salafis, the discussion should not be on making
Raf-ul-uadayn or not, but making Taqleed of a specific Imaam. Kindly refer
to our article on Taqleed: http://www.jamiat.org.za/taqleed.html

We suggest you obtain the book, 'The Question of Raf-ul-Yadain' by As-saadiq
Publications, P.O. Box 2282 Port Elizabeth 6056

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
