Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to increase the tasbih beyond ten in prostration and bowing in the obligatory prayer or the voluntary prayer?
Answer:
It is permissible, but the imam does not increase beyond ten, so as not to burden the ma'mum (those praying behind him). The imam must consider the ma'mum. As for the one who prays alone, he may lengthen it as much as he wishes, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

(peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is the imam of the people, let him shorten the prayer, for among them are the old, the weak, and those in need. But when he prays for himself, let him lengthen it as much as he wishes."
صلى الله عليه وسلم أيكم أم الناس فليخفف، فإن فيهم الكبير والضعيف وذا الحاجة، فإذا صلى لنفسه فليطول ما شاء.
