السلام عليكم If I join ʿIshāʾ while the imām is in his 2nd rakʿah (my 1st), I understand I shouldn’t raise my hands when he stands after the تشهد for his 3rd rakʿah (my 2nd). But what if he stands for his 4th rakʿah and I’m standing for my 3rd (where there’s no تشهد)? Should I raise my hands then?

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan
Yes.
