Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I prayed the Fajr prayer in the Makkah Haram, and the imam performed the prostration of recitation. I and the people praying around me did not prostrate, because we bowed thinking it was the bowing of the prayer. Then it became clear that it was prostration, and we did not prostrate. What is required of us?
Answer:
Nothing is required of you; this prostration is a recommended practice. Yes.
