Question:
If one encounters a prostration verse in the noble Qur'anic verses during prayer, is prostration obligatory for him or not?
Answer:
If a person encounters a prostration verse in the recitation of the Qur'an, it is recommended for him to prostrate, whether he is in prayer or outside of prayer. Prostration of recitation is recommended according to the majority of scholars and is not obligatory, according to the majority. If a person prostrates, he is rewarded for it, and if he does not prostrate, he does not sin; because 'Umar said on the pulpit that Allah did not make prostration—meaning prostration of recitation—obligatory upon us except if He wills.
