The Takbir After the Prostration of Recitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on saying takbir after standing up from the prostration of recitation during the prayer?

Answer:
If the prostration of recitation is within the prayer itself, he says takbir when going down and when rising from the prostration, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say takbir at every lowering and raising, meaning in the prayer. As for prostrating for recitation outside the prayer, the correct view from the words of the scholars is that he does not say takbir, neither when going down nor when rising. It is the correct view from the scholars that he does not say takbir, because it is merely a prostration and does not take on the ruling of the prayer in every aspect. Even if they prostrate without wudu, for example, if he is reciting from memory, reciting by heart, without wudu, there is no obstacle to reciting. So if he comes upon a prostration verse, he prostrates, because this prostration is attached to the recitation. And if recitation is permissible without wudu, then the prostration is also permissible without wudu, meaning the prostration of recitation. Yes.
