Reciting the Mention Instead of the Prostration of Recitation
Is it permissible to recite the supplication: 'O Allah, my mind, hearing, sight, and bones have prostrated to You, so forgive, for none forgives sins except You': that is, to recite the supplication instead of the prostration of recitation?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is recommended to pronounce the glorification during the prostration of recitation, and it is permissible to add any desired remembrances in it, including what you mentioned. The obligation when passing by a prostration of recitation is to perform the prostration of recitation, and nothing else can suffice for it, nor can it be replaced by a supplication or remembrance. And God knows best.
