Tasbih in place of prostration for recitation for one who is unable to prostrate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a reciter is reciting the Qur'an and comes upon a prostration for recitation but is unable to prostrate, is it correct that he recites tasbih and that is sufficient?

Answer:
No, this has not been reported. It has not been reported that he recites tasbih. Either he prostrates, and this is a recommended practice (sunnah), or he leaves off the prostration and nothing is required of him. Praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
