Question

I notice many people carry on reading tasbeeh on their fingers and not lift their hands while the Imaam is making the dua after the fard salaah.They only lift their hands after they have finished. Is this allowed or does it reduce the blessings ?

Answer

While the Imaam is busy making Du'aa the people behind him should also join him as there is more Barakah in doing so together.

However, since this is only preferable, they are not compelled to do so.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
