with out having to do Gusl to drive away suspicion. Ibn ‘Abd?n said: ‘This view contradicts the soundest of the Mathhab approaches’. (1)
[19] Mistakes done during the Qiy?m in Sal?t:
Some muslims do many mistakes during their Qiy?m [standing] before the hands of their Rabb; sometimes they abandon the prophet’s ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) Sunnah and his manner in performing Sal?t, sometimes they indulge in improper acts believing them to be of the Sunnah or just out of their imitation to their fathers [or other people]!!
The following are some of these mistakes:
[1/ 19]* Abandoning rising hands when reciting Takb?ratul Ihr?m, doing Ruk?‘ and raising from it.
Some muslims abandon the Sunnah of raising their hands when reciting Takb?ratul Ihr?m, when doing Ruk?‘, when rising from it, and after the first Tashahhud. They may even raise their hands at improper times and positions such as: raising hands when reciting the Takb?rat of the Funeral Sal?t, (2) and the Takb?rat recited in the Eid Sal?t!! (3)
Those who do such acts depend on false ah?d?th or the misinterpretation of other authentic ones such as:
(a) The false had?th that states: ‘whoever raises his hands in Sal?t, his Sal?t is invalid’. (4)
