The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person recites only one tasbih (glorification) in his bowing and in his prostration, is this considered a reduction? And is it considered a defect?
The Shaykh:
No, this is sufficient if he recites one tasbih, for example. Yes.
The questioner:
The tasbih in bowing and prostration.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is the minimum that suffices, but the more complete form is three, and the most complete form for the imam and the like is ten tasbihs.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
But he says: If he recites the single tasbih while he is calm, he does not omit it; but if he is flustered and his limbs have not settled, he does not recite it. Does a single tasbih without calmness suffice? This is the minimum that suffices. Yes.
