Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A person during his prostration: does he supplicate before performing the dhikr of prostration, or is it after?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : That is, it is understood that supplication in prostration is good and has a basis.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : Does he begin with supplication and not perform the glorifications of prostration?
The Shaykh : The glorifications are obligatory.
The questioner : They are the priority.
The Shaykh : And what is other than that is not the priority; the obligatory ones are the priority.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for supplication, it is a desirable matter, recommended.
The questioner : And it is after the glorifications.
