RE: [IslamCity] rafa yadain in salah
The following narrations from: BULUGH
AL-MARAAM ( HADITH NO :216)
OF THE FAMOUS IMAM AL HAFIZ IBN HAJAR
AL-ASQALANI with the foot note of "Subul-us-Salaam"
written by Muhammad bin Ismail As-Sanani.
Narrated Ibn Umar (Radhiallahu Anhu) The Prophet (Sallahu alaihi Wasallam)
(when he stood up for prayer) used to raise his hands parallel to his
shoulders[1] when he starts the prayer (by saying Allahu Akbar), when he utters
the takbir to bow and when he raises his head from the Ruku' (bowing
posture) (Agreed Upon)[ Sahih Buhari and Muslim].
Abu Da'ud reported a Hadith narrated by Abu Humaid (Radhiallahu Anhu)
to the effect that he (Allah's Messenger Sallahu alaihi Wasallam) used to
raise his hands and bring them parallel to his shoulders, and then utter the takbir.
In the version of Muslim, a Hadith narrated by Malik bin Huwairith (Radhiallahu
Anhu) is same as the Hadith narrated by Ibn Umar (Radhiallahu Anhu). But he
mentioned: "He (Allah's Messenger Sallahu alaihi Wasallam) raised
his hands parallel to the end of his ears."
Foot note:
[1] This narration of Abdullah bin Umar (Radhiallahu Anhu) is clear
enough to prove that at the start of a prayer, at the time of bowing and at
rising from bowing, the raising of hands up to ears is SUNNAH. The words (kana yarfahu)
denote the perpetuity. It proves that raising of hands was not cancelled nor given
up. All the Ahadith against the 'raising of hands' are Da'if
(weak) or Maudu' (forged). Amoung the weak Ahadith, weaknesses of some
are unanimously agreed and some are controversial. From all of them, the
narration of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (Radhiallahu Anhu) is regarded as
better. Imam Bukhari quoted his teacher 'Ali bin Madini's legal
opinion on the basis of Abdullah bin Umar's narration that is becomes
essential for all Muslims to raise hands. Controversy of this issue is too
lengthy to be discussed here.
Ibn Hajar Al- Asqalani
authored more than 150 books - most of them being in the studies. His books
most worthy of mentioning is FATH AL- BARI
- THE COMMENTRY OF SAHIH AL BUHARI.
Allah knows best!

according to
some school of thoughts "Rafa Yadain" is compulsory while offering
SALAH. However, as per the interpretation of Hanfi school of thought, the
approach is some how different
I would like
to have your say about one of the issue which I face while offering the prayers
(Nimaz). It would be very kind of you if a detailed clarification could be
given about the above mentioned issue as to what method should be adopted that
is also best supported by Sunnah / Hadith.

The issue of Raf-ul yadayn is not of permissibility and non-permissibiliy. It is an issue of Afzaliyyah (more virtuous). One Hadith states: Ibn Masood [radhiallaahu anhu] says, I shall show you how Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] performed Salaat and he only made Raf-ul yadayn in the beginning of Salaat. (Sunan al-Tirmidhi Hadith257) Based on this, Imaam Abu Hanifa and Imaam Maalik [ra] preferred this view that one should only raise his hands in the beginning of Salaat at the Takbeer Tahrima. (Naylul Awtaar vol.2 pg.185; Ilmiyah) Another Hadith states: Ibn Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] mentions that Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] used to raise his hands when he commenced Salaat, at the time of going into Ruku and when he came up from Ruku. (Bukhari). Based on this Hadith, Imaam al-Shaafiee and Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal [ra] preferred Raf-ul- yadayn in other postures as well. However, all the Imaams consider both views to life the hands in all postures or only in the beginning as permissible. According to Imaam Abu Hanifa and Imaam Maalik, it is also permissible to lift the hands in all postures. According to Imaam al-Shaafiee and Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, it is not compulsory to lift the hands in all postures. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai
