The Method of Prostration of Gratitude
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on questions regarding gratitude, and is it required that it be done in a state of purity?
Answer:
The prostration of gratitude is exactly like the prostration in prayer. That is, one stands on the ground and places his forehead, nose, hands, knees, and toes on the ground, on the seven limbs. He prostrates on the seven limbs and says, "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), just as he says it in prayer. He intends by it gratitude to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
As for making ritual purity a condition for it, there is no evidence for that. There is no evidence for making ritual purity a condition. However, if one is in a state of purity, that is better. But making it a condition? No, there is no evidence for that. He enters, no, and safety, his food burns. If a person recites from memory and passes a prostration, he envies, even if he is gifted with food. Yes.
