How to prostrate for recitation when driving or riding in a car

Question : Yes, please raise your voice. Hello, hello. I can’t hear you, Shaykh, raise your voice. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Shaykh, hello, yes, may Allah give you a good morning. Welcome, may Allah give you a good morning. May Allah keep you safe. I want to ask you a question. I am traveling in a car and reciting the Qur’an. A prostration verse came to me. Are you the driver of the car? Do I face the qiblah, or do I face the direction I am already facing? I say: You are the driver of the car. I am sitting in the car as a passenger.

Answer : If you are a passenger, prostrate for the recitation, and raise your head in the direction your face is facing. In the direction my face is facing. Toward the qiblah or away from the qiblah. And if you are the one driving the car, do not prostrate, because this will distract you, unless you pull over and stop; in that case, there is no harm.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
