Question:
Is the prostration of recitation outside of prayer performed in any direction, even if it is not facing the qiblah?
Answer:
Yes, there is no harm. For example, if you are reading the Qur'an while walking on the road and you come upon a verse of prostration, you prostrate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the voluntary prayer at night in whatever direction his mount faced. However, if you are sitting or standing, you face the qiblah for the prostration. But if you are walking on the road while reading the Qur'an, you prostrate in the direction you are facing. Yes.
