Question:
May Allah reward you with good. If a person is reciting the Noble Qur'an from memory and a prostration verse passes by, and he is not in a state of ritual purity, does he prostrate? Or how do you direct him?
Answer:
There is no harm in his prostrating; there is no harm in his prostrating. This is because the correct view is that the prostration of recitation does not follow the rulings of the ritual prayer, but rather it is an independent act of worship. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to prostrate for recitation, and those present with him would prostrate, and he did not instruct the attendees to perform the ablution. Yes.
