Is wudu and facing the qiblah required for the prostration of recitation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, may Allah preserve you, asks: Is wudu and facing the qiblah required for the prostration of recitation?

Answer:
The correct view is that this is not required for it, because there is no evidence for it, and because reciting the Qur'an is permissible even if a person is in a state of minor ritual impurity. It is permissible to recite the Qur'an from memory without touching the mushaf, and if he comes upon a verse of prostration, he prostrates. Yes.
