Question
Is it permissible to increase 'Subhan Rabbiyal Azim' during bowing, and 'Subhan Rabbiyal A'la' during prostration, after repeating the glorification three times?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is recommended to increase the glorifications (tasbih) in bowing (rukoo) and prostration (sujud) in odd numbers, such as three, five, seven... This applies to the individual (prayer), while the imam can increase to five without the permission of the followers, and more than that with their permission, and God knows best.
