Raising The Hands For Takbeer In Janaazah Salaah

· 15 Muharram 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Should a person lift his hands for the takbeers in janaza salaah?

Answer

One will only lift his hands up in the first Takbeer, not for the following Takbeers. Yes, if someone reads in a gathering where the Musallis lift up their hands for all the Takeers, one may also do so.
