The questioner:
Is the prostration of recitation in the Fajr prayer when reciting the prostration verse obligatory or a recommended practice? If the imam prostrates at one time and does not prostrate at another, is this part of the recommended practice or not?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the recommended practice in the Fajr prayer on Friday is to recite Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Inshirah. As for the prostration, it is incidental and not the primary objective. Some people think that Friday has a prostration; no, Friday does not have a prostration. This prostration is incidental to the recitation only. If one passes the verse of prostration, he prostrates; this is recommended. If he does not prostrate, he owes nothing, because he left a recommended act. If he prostrates, that is better, and if he does not prostrate, he owes nothing. Yes.
