Question:
He asks: Does one perform the prostration of recitation if he sees a person prostrating for his recitation without having heard the verse?
Answer:
No. If he is not listening to the Qur'an with the intention of listening, he does not prostrate. Even if he hears the recitation but did not intend to listen, he does not prostrate. The prostration is for the reciter and the listener, not for the one who merely hears. There is a difference between the listener and the one who hears. The listener intends to listen, whereas the one who hears did not intend to listen; the sound reached him and he heard it with his ears without having intended to. Yes.
