The ruling on prostration of recitation in the cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And is it permissible to perform a standalone prostration, such as the prostration of recitation? For example, if a person is reading in the cemetery and comes upon a verse of prostration, does he prostrate or not?

Answer : This depends on the disagreement among scholars regarding the prostration of recitation. Scholars have differed on this matter: some said it is a prayer, and others said it is not a prayer. Those who say it is not a prayer hold that it is permissible for a person to prostrate in prostration of recitation in the cemetery, while those who say it is a prayer hold that it is not permissible.
