Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: One of the worshippers among us, after the Fajr prayer and after finishing the dhikr, performs a single prostration before leaving and exiting. When we asked him about it, he said it is a prostration of gratitude to Allah.
Answer:
No, this is an innovation; this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Gratitude is for when a blessing is renewed or a calamity is averted. As for doing it constantly, prostrating and saying this is gratitude—no. The prayer is something ordinary; it is not something renewed. It is not something renewed. It is a means of fulfilling an obligation. Yes. And tell him not to use this practice. Yes.
