Raising hands while Du'a is made on TV
Fatwa No: 84158

Question

Can I raise my hand to Allah while someone is saying a Du'a on the TV?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

There is no opposition to saying 'Ameen' when hearing the person who makes Du'a (supplication), directly (live) or through the communication media, such as radio. The meaning of the word 'Ameen' is: 'O Allah! Respond to the supplication".
Allah knows best.
