The ruling on prostration of recitation and holding the mushaf in one's hand, and whether placing it on the ground is a disrespect to it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Well, may Allah reward you for your work, O Shaykh. Regarding the prostration of recitation, O Shaykh, if the reciter prostrates while holding the mushaf in his hand, O Shaykh, or if he prostrates on his hand without extending his palm, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
It is considered as if he prostrated.
The questioner:
I mean, are the conditions of the prostration of recitation the same as the conditions of prostration in prayer?
The Shaykh:
It is a condition that is recommended, but it is not a failure.
The questioner:
Did it not cause any harm?
The Shaykh:
It is considered as if he prostrated, because he missed a pillar of the pillars of prostration. The prostration of recitation is not obligatory. Yes.
The questioner:
Yes, O Shaykh, if it is not like this, I mean, it is necessary to prostrate on the seven limbs.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he places it on the ground and prostrates.
The questioner:
I mean, placing it on the ground is not considered a disrespect to the mushaf, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And if it is clean, yes, and only if it is.
The questioner:
Even if it is not during prostration, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the need calls for it.
