Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I am reciting the Qur'an and I come upon the prostration verses, is it permissible for me to prostrate while sitting? And am I required to face the qiblah, or not?
Answer:
Yes, facing the qiblah is better, because it is an act of worship, and it is better to face the qiblah for acts of worship. It is not required that you stand up and prostrate from a standing position; you may prostrate while sitting.
