Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question says: When does one prostrate to Allah in prostration of gratitude, and what is its manner? Is ablution required for it?
Answer:
Prostration of gratitude is like the prostration of prayer; one prostrates on his forehead on the ground while saying, "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). It is done when a blessing is renewed or a calamity is averted, whether the renewal of blessing or the averting of calamity is for him or for the Muslims. He prostrates in gratitude to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Ablution is not required for it, just as it is not required for the prostration of recitation. Yes.
