The ruling on nodding the head during prostration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If I am reciting the Qur'an and I come to a place of prostration, and I am sitting on a chair, for example, is it permissible for me to nod my head?

Answer:
No, he prostrates on the ground. He does not nod his head unless he is unable to prostrate on the ground. Yes.
