Is it permissible to restrict oneself to the supplication: "Subbuhun Quddusun, Rabbul Mala'ikati war-Ruh (Glorious and Most Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit)" three times in prostration, without saying: "Subhana Rabbiyal-A'la (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High)"?

It is permissible for a Muslim woman to say in her prostration: "Subbuhun Quddusun, Rabbul Mala'ikati war-Ruh (Glorified, Most Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit)" three times, or more or less, and she is not obliged to say any other glorification with it. It is also permissible for her to substitute this with "Subhana Rabbiyal-A'la (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High)" or other similar phrases, as the matter of glorification is broad, and many formulations have been reported in the Sunnah.
