Question

   What do the honourable scholars of Islam say regarding the following matter: can one perform the prostration of thankfulness (sajdah al-shukr) after Asr salah?

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

   The prostration of thankfulness or the salah of thankfulness is a Nafl salah. The noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم forbade Nafl salah after Asr salah. Therefore, offering the prostration or salah of thankfulness after Asr salah is makrūh taḥrīmī and impermissible.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
