Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The best thing for the Quran teacher, O Shaykh, is that he knows: if he passes by a verse of prostration, does he prostrate and not continue with the teaching?
Answer : If he prostrates, there is no harm; and if he leaves it, there is no harm, provided that the matter does not cause confusion. For example, if he is teaching them in the mosque, he prostrates the first time. If it causes confusion, such as if he is teaching them in a school and they are sitting on chairs, come. There are mats in front of them. Come. If he wanted to prostrate, you would all get mixed up. Okay. And a while has passed. Come on. Before they arrange the place for prostration, he does not prostrate, because the matter is broad in this regard. Yes.
