Reciting the Tasbeehaat of Ruku’ less than three times
Question
What is the ruling regarding lifting your head up from Sajdah before you complete the third Tasbeeh?
Answer
The act of reciting the Tasbeehaat of Ruku or Sajdah less than thrice, is Makrooh. Reciting the Tasbeehaat thrice is the minimal to attain perfection, hence reciting any less than thrice is Makrooh. However, the Salaah will be valid.
