AL KAFI #1389 : HUKUM MELAKUKAN SUJUD SYUKUR DI DALAM SOLAT
Is it permissible to perform a prostration of gratitude (sujud syukur) during prayer, or must it be done outside the prayer?

Sujud syukur is not permitted during prayer, and doing it invalidates the prayer.

Summary
Sujud syukur is not permitted during prayer, and doing it invalidates the prayer. The exception is a person who is ignorant of the ruling or who forgets. The reason is that it adds an act to the prayer that is not part of it. The prostration should be performed outside the prayer, and the prayer itself is also an expression of gratitude by the servant.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
kami kongsikan kenyataan dari para fuqaha bahawa tidak boleh untuk seseorang itu melakukan sujud syukur di dalam solat. Bahkan perbuatan tersebut membatalkan solat kecuali bagi seseorang yang jahil ataupun terlupa.
