The ruling on the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) leaving out the prostration of recitation with the imam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the prayer of the ma'mum if the imam prostrates for recitation but the ma'mum does not prostrate?

Answer:
If he did not prostrate because he did not know or did not hear, there is no blame on him. But if he intentionally opposed the imam, that is not permissible; it is not permissible for him to do so. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam is appointed to be followed." It is not permissible to intentionally oppose the imam. As for leaving out the prostration of recitation with the imam because he did not know or was inattentive, there is no blame on him for that.
