The questioner : Is ritual purity required for the prostration of recitation? And is it required that the woman be covered, meaning covering her hair? And does she say the takbir and taslim?
The Shaykh : Regarding the prostration of recitation: if it is during the prayer, one says takbir when prostrating and when standing up. However, if it is outside the prayer, one says takbir when prostrating but not when standing up, and one does not say the closing salam. This is the closest of the opinions to the truth. Some scholars hold that the prostration of recitation has the ruling of the prayer, meaning one says takbir for prostrating and for rising, and says the salam once from it. The prostration of gratitude has the same ruling as the prostration of recitation.
