It is for the worshipper to raise his hands parallel to his shoulders or ears when saying the opening Takbir (Takbirat al-), when bowing and rising from bowing, and when standing up from the first . The palms should be facing the Qiblah. This is what is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him).
