Mentioning an alternative to prostration of recitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a specific dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that is prescribed for the one who does not respond to the sunnah (recommended practice) in recitation?

Answer:
Meaning, as a substitute for it, meaning a dhikr that is said as a substitute for the prostration of recitation? No, this has not been transmitted. And whoever brings a dhikr and says this is a substitute for the prostration of recitation, that is a bid'ah (religious innovation). If he prostrates, he nods in prostration if he is unable to prostrate on the ground, on the floor of the car, he nods with his head, there is no harm in that.
