Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):
If it is done as a mention of God, the Exalted, in general, there is no issue with it, and both bowing and prostration, as well as the prayer, are valid. However, one must also perform the specific mention.

Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect him):
It is not permissible, according to the more cautious opinion.
