The ruling on prostrating in gratitude upon completing the recitation in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s position is that it is permissible to express gratitude upon completing the recitation in prayer after it has ended, or upon completing a portion of the Qur’an, or something from the Sunnah.
Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was humble in his prayer, and it is not mentioned that he prostrated in gratitude. The Caliphs were humble in their prayers, and it is not mentioned that they prostrated in gratitude. This is not prescribed. However, if a person completes memorizing the Qur’an, there is no doubt that this is a blessing. If he completes memorizing the Qur’an and prostrates in gratitude, there is no harm, because this renewal is a blessing for the Muslim. Or if his son memorizes the Qur’an, and it is reported to him that his son has memorized the Qur’an, and he prostrates in gratitude to Allah, then this is a good thing. Yes. The book of hadith.
Or if it is reported to you that your son has grown up, for example, you have a son or a relative who was disobedient and an open sinner, and then it is reported to you that he has grown up and turned to the right path, and you prostrate in gratitude to Allah, this is good. All of this is prostrating in blessings. If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found out that the people of Yemen had embraced Islam, then if it is reported to you that a relative of yours or a brother among your Muslim brothers has repented to Allah, turned back, and his condition has improved, and you prostrate in gratitude to Allah, then this is a good thing. Yes.
