Prostration of recitation and bowing coincide: how does one perform the prostration of recitation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 14823 )
Q: If I am in prayer and I am reciting Surat al-'Alaq or Surat al-Najm and the prostration of recitation and bowing coincide for me, how do I perform the prostration of recitation? Do I prostrate, then stand up and perform the bowing, or do I perform the bowing and delay the prostration until the end of the prayer? Likewise, if I am in the Fajr prayer and I recite one of these two surahs in the second rak'ah, how do I perform the prostration (the prostration of recitation)?
A: It is prescribed for one who recites a verse containing a prostration of recitation to prostrate immediately after it, then say Allahu Akbar and return to standing, then say Allahu Akbar and bow; because the prostration of recitation is performed after reciting the verse that contains the prostration and is not delayed until after the taslim. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
