The Ruling on the Prostration of Recitation in the Secret Prayer, Unlike the Case of the One Praying Alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! If a person prays alone or as an imam, and the prayer is the secret prayer, and he comes upon a verse of prostration, does he prostrate for the recitation or not?
As for the one praying alone, he prostrates. As for the imam, the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned that it is disliked for him to recite a verse of prostration in the secret prayer.Meaning: It is better that he not recite it; because either he prostrates and causes disturbance to them, or he does not prostrate and thus leaves off the prostration. So the best is that he not recite it. However, if the hadith is authentic that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited in the midday prayer (Alam), the revealed prostration, and prostrated in it.
So the statement of dislike has no place.
