The ruling on prostration of recitation for the listener
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it prescribed for the listener to write the prostration and the reader to write it, or is that not permissible?
Answer:
That is not permissible; it is not prescribed. Zayd ibn Thabit used to recite to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so Zayd did not prostrate, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prostrate. The listener follows the reader: if the reader prostrates, he prostrates with him; if the reader does not prostrate, the listener does not prostrate.
