Primary text

The ruling regarding raising the hands is the same for the leader (*Imam*), the follower (*Ma'mum*), and the person praying alone (*Munfarid*). Likewise, the ruling applies equally to obligatory and supererogatory prayers because the reports concerning the raising of the hands make no distinction between these cases.
