Esselamu Aleykum. On the site: www.islam-qa.com I found this answer of Sheikh Uthaymeen reagarding placing hands after rukoo: "The correct placement of the hands when standing up after rukoo is to place the right hand on the left forearm, not to let the hands hang by the sides."

"Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: it seems that the Sunnah is to place the right hand on the left forearm, because of the general meaning of the hadeeth of Sahl ibn Sa'd which was narrated by al-Bukhaari: The people were commanded that a man should put his right hand on his left forearm when praying. If you look at the general meaning of this hadeeth you will note that it says when praying, not when standing. Thus it will be clear that when standing after rukoo it is prescribed to put (the right hand on the left forearm), because when bowing (rukoo) the hands are placed on the knees, and when prostrating they are placed on the ground, and when sitting they are placed on the thighs. But when standing which includes standing both before and after rukoo a person should place his right hand on his left forearm.

This is the correct view."

And while I was watching Sheikh Adly demonstrating prayer of the Prophet s.a.w.s I noticed that Sheikh Adly didn't place his hands on his chest after rukoo? So I'd like to ask our sister Laila what the real sunah is - to fold or not to fold hands after rukoo?

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Brother you misunderstand what Uthaymeen is talking about. In the video after rukoo shaykh Adly raises his hands and says "sami allahu liman hamida" this is the sunnah.

When praying standing shaykh Adly has his hands placed over the chest as the sunnah dictates. Bottom line. look at the video.. that is the correct way to pray as the Prophet(saw) did and there is no comflict in what Shaykh Uthaymeen said and what Shaykh Adky does.. they prayed the same.

Seeing is better than reading because it makes more sense to see a thing.. so follow the video. There are no scholars of Uhl Sunnah ahl Jummmat who will debate the video of Shaykh Adly.. for that is the way they ALL pray.

For the record, Shaykh Adlys video on how to pray is used in Muslim universities all over the world. Shaykh Adly also used to teach in the prophet's Mosque in Mecca.. so inshallah that speaks for what the Shaykh Knows.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
