Question:
He says: When passing by a verse that contains a prostration, is it prescribed for the reciter and the listener to prostrate, or does only the reciter prostrate?
Answer:
It is recommended (mustahabb) for the listener to prostrate, not merely the one who hears. The recommendation applies to the reciter and to the listener who intends to listen. As for the one who hears the verse and is walking, or who did not intend to listen, it is not recommended for him to prostrate. Yes. For this reason, they said: “It is recommended for the reciter and the listener, but not for the one who merely hears.” Yes.
