Lengthening the First Two Rak'ahs and the Tasbih in Ruku' and Sujud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! It is known in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would lengthen the first two rak'ahs and shorten the last two. The question is: does this apply to all obligatory and voluntary prayers? And does it refer to the recitation of the Qur'an, as opposed to the ruku' and sujud? If someone makes six tasbihs in the first two rak'ahs and three in the last two, has he followed the Sunnah?
Answer:
The tasbih in ruku' and sujud is obligatory once, and what is added to it is mustahabb (recommended), up to three, up to ten, up to a hundred.
