The Ruling on Prostration of Recitation in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a question. If I am praying and I find myself sitting and reciting the Qur'an, and a verse about prostration comes to me, is it obligatory for me to prostrate, or if I do not prostrate, is there a sin on me?

Answer:
Prostration of recitation is a recommended practice (sunnah); it is not obligatory. If you do not prostrate, you owe nothing, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
