The description of prostration of gratitude and what is said in it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the description of prostration of gratitude? What is said in it? And is it obligatory for a woman to cover herself for prostration of gratitude as she covers herself for prayer?
Answer:
Prostration of gratitude is prescribed when a blessing is renewed or a calamity is removed, whether general or specific. This is done by prostrating on the ground like the prostration in prayer, and saying in it, "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), just as one says it in the prostration of prayer. One should also supplicate with whatever is easy, just as one supplicates in the prostration of prayer. If a woman has non-mahram men present, she covers her face and hair from them. This is not for the sake of the prostration, but for the sake of covering her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), because her entire body is 'awrah in the presence of non-mahram men. However, if she is alone, or if only mahram or women are present, it is not required for prostration of gratitude that she cover her head. This is because prostration of gratitude is not a prayer, but rather an independent act of worship that does not take on the rulings of prayer. Yes.
