Sharia ruling of imaam lifting hands and making dua after fardh Salaah

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
