Sujud ash-shukr
The majority of Muslim jurists agree on the permissibility of offering sujud ash-shukr to express gratefulness to Allah as He showers His bounties explicitly and implicitly on man. Such type of sujud is an aspect of thanksgiving. It is one prostration only.
Evidence from the Sunnah
Upon the authority of Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him):
Whenever the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) was pleased by a matter or was given the glad tidings of a matter, he would go into prostration as a form of Shukr to Allaah.
It has also been narrated about Ka’ab ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him), when his repentance was accepted by Allaah and the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) stopped boycotting him, he prostrated to Allaah.
“The fact that Ka’ab ibn Maalik prostrated when he heard the glad tidings [of his sin being forgiven] is a clear evidence that this act was a common practice of the companions.
Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq prostrated when news reached him that Musaylamah the Liar had been killed. Alee’ prostrated when Dhul Thadiyyah had been killed among the Khawaarij. The Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) also prostrated when Jibreel gave him the glad tidings that whoever sends salutations upon the Prophet once, Allaah will send salutations on that person ten fold…”
How it is performed?
As soon as a person hears of a specific blessing, it is recommended for him to immediately prostrate to Allaah. This is a prostration like any other prostration – in terms of prostrating on seven limbs [4] and saying:
سبحان ربي الأعلى
Translation :
Glorified is my Lord, the Most High
A person should then also thank Allaah for the blessing.
There is no evidence however, for a person to say Takbeer at the beginning of the prostration, nor Tasleem after it.
Does a person have to be in a state of Wudhu?
“The correct opinion is that it is not obligated upon a person to be in a state of Wudhu when performing Sujood ash-Shukr. This is because the reason for performing it is due to an occurrence of a blessing or removal of a harm, and there is no specific time for this in which a person can prepare for it. In such a case, whenever a person is blessed, he should immediately perform Sujood ash-Shukr in whatever state he is in.”
