Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the method of prostration for recitation?

Answer:
It is like the prostration in prayer: “Subhan Rabbi al-A’la” (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), “Subhan Rabbi al-A’la,” “Subhan Rabbi al-A’la,” “Subhanak Allahumma” (Glory be to You, O Allah)… and you make supplication in it.
Q: Is there a takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) when intending to prostrate?
A: In prayer: one says takbir when prostrating and when rising. As for outside of prayer, one says takbir only when prostrating. As for saying takbir when prostrating and rising, nothing has been reported regarding it.
Q: Is there a salam (closing greeting) in prostration for recitation?
A: Outside of prayer, there is nothing; one only says takbir when prostrating, and rises by reciting, without a salam and without a takbir. As for prostration in prayer, one says takbir when lowering oneself and says takbir when rising, like the prostration in prayer, if it is within the prayer.
Q: Prostration of gratitude?
A: It is like the prostration in prayer, and like the prostration for recitation.
Q: As for these prostrations—recitation and gratitude—what is their ruling?
A: It is recommended.
