Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. In prayer, we sometimes recite verses that contain a prostration, but we sometimes forget and bow instead of the prostration of recitation. What is the ruling?

Answer:
The prostration of recitation is not obligatory. Even if a person leaves it out intentionally, there is no blame on him. How much more so if he leaves it out out of forgetfulness; there is no blame on him for that, or is there? Praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah.
