Daily Ramadan Digest: What Muslims Should Know About Prolonging The Last Sajdah

Muslims do say five daily prayers. The prayer itself involves standing, bowing, prostrating (Sajdah) and sitting. However, every Muslim should know the ruling on prolonging Sajdah.

QUESTION: What is the ruling on prolonging only the last Sajdah, other than the other pillars of prayer, (marking it specially) for making Du`aa and Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness). Does it affect the prayer if one prolongs the last Sajdah?

Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen: ❝It is not from the Sunnah to prolong the final Sajdah, because the Sunnah is to have all parts of the prayer to be equal in length, i.e., Rukoo`, and the standing after it, the Sujood, and the sitting between the two Sujood, as Al-Baraa’ Ibn `Aazib said:

❝I witnessed the Prophet offering the Salaah, and saw his Qiyaam (standing), his Rukoo` (bowing), and (the period of) standing after rising from Rukoo`, his Sujood (prostration), and his sitting between the two prostrations, and his sitting at the end before the departure (Tasleem), used to be equal in length.❞*

This is best (way to pray), but know that there is another place for making Du`aa other than Sujood, and that is the Tashahhud. The Prophet taught `Abdullaah Ibn Mas`ood the Tashahhud and said: ❝Then let him choose whatever Du`aa he likes.❞**

Muslims praying in the Sajdah position


He thus made the Du`aa permissible, whether short or long, after the final Tashahhud, prior to saying Tasleem.❞
