The ruling on repeating prostration for recitation when repeating a verse for memorization
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When I review the Qur'an and memorize it, and I repeat it, prostration for recitation becomes difficult for me when I repeat it. So, should I prostrate every time I recite the verse?
The Shaykh:
In one session, it appears that once is sufficient. The one who repeats it for memorization repeats it for the sake of memorization. He prostrates only the first time and does not repeat the prostration. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Because this is not recitation; this is memorization. He wants to memorize it. Yes.
