Question

Assalam o alikum

I want to know that in Ruku and Sujud in prayer one must read tasbeeh minimum three times

Is there any MAXIMUM NUMBER of reading TASBEEH IN SUJUD AND RUKU?
In order to prolong the sujud or ruku

According to Hanafi fiqh

✓

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

If you are leading the prayer, then you should only recite the Tasbeehaat three times.

However, if you are praying alone, you may prolong as long as you wish.

Reference

 وصرحوا بأنه يكره أن ينقص عن الثلاث وأن الزيادة مستحبة بعد أن يختم على وتر خمس أو سبع ما لم يكن إماما فلا يطول (رد المحتار 1/494)

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
