I read a prostration verse at sunset; should I prostrate or leave the prostration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I was reciting the Qur'an and reached a prostration verse at sunset. Should I prostrate or leave the prostration?

Answer:
You prostrate, because the prostration of recitation is not a prayer, but rather an independent act of worship attached to the recitation. So you prostrate at any time, and this is not a prayer.
