The answer

This issue is among the subsidiary matters and recommended acts of prayer, and there has been disagreement about it due to the absence of a clear text. The matter is broad, and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal's answer was: "When he raises his head from bowing (ruku'): if he wishes, he may let his hands hang, and if he wishes, he may place his right hand over his left." So, whoever lets their hands hang or clasps them, believing that they are following the , will be rewarded, Allah willing.
