The ruling on supplication in prostration outside of prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have two questions, Shaykh. The first question: What is the ruling on supplication in prostration outside of prayer? Is it permissible to make supplication in prostration for someone who is not praying and not in prayer? The second question:Sunan Ibn Majah 3976Da’if (Darussalam) Is there a criterion for this hadith? Thank you, may Allah reward you a thousand times over.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, supplication outside of prayer
The Shaykh:
No, he is not asking about that; he is asking about supplication in prostration. He says:
The presenter:
Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I do not know which prostration this is? Supplication in prostration during prayer is required, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani) So increase in supplication in this, in the prostration of prayer. As for if he means prostration of gratitude or prostration of recitation, then he performs the glorification, saying "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), as is done in prayer, and he repeats it, and he supplicates with whatever supplications Allah has made easy for him. Yes.

Part of a person’s goodness in Islam is his leaving alone that which does not concern him.

أما السجود فيكثر فيه الدعاء فقمن أن يستجاب لكمThe nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself
أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد
