Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is ritual purity required for the prostration of gratitude? What is its form? And does one end it with one closing salam or two?
Answer:
The stronger position is that ritual purity is not required for the prostration of gratitude or the prostration of recitation, because they are an independent act of worship, not part of the prayer. Ritual purity is only required for the prayer. These, the prostration of gratitude and the prostration of recitation, are an independent act of worship, not a prayer. Therefore, it is not permissible to prostrate for gratitude or for recitation while in a state of ritual impurity. Yes.
