The Disagreement on the Number of Prostrations in the Qur'an and the Differences Between the Mushafs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are mushafs in my country according to the recitation of Qalun from Nafi', and they do not have prostration marks in al-Shu'ara and al-'Alaq, and in Surat al-Hajj there is only one prostration. He says: Is there a disagreement among the scholars regarding the number of prostrations in the Qur'an?

Answer:
Yes. There is a disagreement among them regarding the number of prostrations in the Qur'an. That is to say, if you read a verse that does not have a prostration mark in one of the mushafs, but prostration is prescribed at it, you prostrate, even if it is not written, meaning that prostration for recitation is not written at it in this mushaf. You prostrate, because the criterion is the verse, not the mushaf. Yes.
