Is it permissible to raise the hands between the two Friday sermons, upon their completion, and immediately after finishing the prayer, and what are the Sunnahs of Friday prayer?

It is disliked for the Imam to raise his hands in supplication during the khutbah (sermon), because it was narrated that Umarah ibn Ruwaybah saw Bishr ibn Marwan raising his hands during the khutbah and disapproved of it. As for the congregants (ma'mum), scholars differ regarding the ruling on raising their hands; some consider it recommended, while others equate their ruling to that of the Imam. It is permissible to supplicate and raise hands after the salutation (taslim) of the prayer. The sunan (recommended acts) of Friday prayer are the same as those of other prayers, and one can refer to fatwas related to that.
