f:821 -    Not able to raise hands when starting Salaat
Country : Hakeempet,
Name : submittername
Question:     I have pain in my hands, one more than the other.  Because of this, I cannot raise my hands when starting the Salaat.  What should I do?
............................................................................
Answer:     It is Masnoon (a Sunnah) to raise hands up to the earlobes.  If you cannot raise hands up to the earlobes, you may raise your hands as high as is convenient to you.  If you can raise one hand and cannot raise the other hand, then you may raise one hand only.  As given in Fatawa A’alamgiri, Kitab Us Salaat.

And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) knows best.
