Abstract

This article examines the approach and evidentiary arguments of Hanafi 
hadith scholars regarding the hadiths transmitted on the issue of “raf’ul-yadayn” (raising 
the hands) in prayer. By examining the various hadiths concerning this practice, the 
evidentiary bases advanced by scholars of the Hanafi school on this issue, as well as 
the extent of their probative strength, have been analyzed. In addition, a comparative 
analysis has been conducted with the approaches of other juristic schools to this issue, 
thereby elucidating the distinctive characteristics of the Hanafi school. The responses 
of Hanafi jurists to the evidences advanced by scholars of other schools have also been 
examined in brief.
