Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is prostration of gratitude a prayer, such that the conditions of prayer apply to it, like prostration of recitation?
Answer:
No, it is not a prayer. There is no disagreement among scholars that it is not a prayer, as far as I know. The disagreement is regarding prostration in the toilet and prostration at the grave.
