Question:
We take a call from Salih in Jeddah. Go ahead, Salih. Hello. Yes. And peace be upon you. Just a moment. Go ahead. Is it permissible to face the qiblah and perform wudu' before the sujud al-shukr? In sujud al-shukr, O Shaykh, is it permissible to face the qiblah and perform wudu'?
Answer:
Yes, sujud al-tilawah is an act of worship, and some scholars consider it a prayer, requiring what is required for prayer, such as wudu' and facing the qiblah. Other scholars consider it an independent act of worship, so wudu' is not required for it, but if one performs wudu', it is better. Yes.
