Prostration for recitation is recommended in both obligatory and voluntary prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Regarding prostration for recitation, do we prostrate when the prayer is obligatory or voluntary, or only when it is obligatory? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Prostration for recitation is recommended in prayer, whether it is obligatory or voluntary. It is recommended that one prostrate when he passes a verse of prostration, whether the prayer is obligatory or voluntary. Likewise, if he is reciting the Qur'an outside of prayer and passes a verse of prostration, it is recommended for him to prostrate. So what is prescribed for him to prostrate is passing a verse of prostration, whether in prayer or outside of prayer, whether it is an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one. Yes.
