The ruling on the standing of the seated reciter before the prostration of recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the reciter is sitting and comes upon a prostration of recitation, is it prescribed for him to stand up and then prostrate, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: "So bow down"?
Answer:
He does not prostrate in his current state. As far as I know, or as far as I have looked into, there is no report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand up and then prostrate for recitation. This is something in which some people exercise independent legal reasoning, and it requires evidence. Yes.
