Does prostration of recitation include two taslims or one?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, does prostration of recitation include two taslims, meaning to the right and to the left, or is it a single taslim to the right? I hope you will provide this information.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment:
The scholars have differed on whether prostration of recitation has the ruling of prayer, meaning voluntary prayer, or whether it does not have the ruling of prayer.
According to the first opinion, it includes takbir when prostrating, takbir when rising from prostration, and taslim, and a single taslim is sufficient in it.
According to the second opinion, that is not considered in it.
What appears to me from the Sunnah is that it contains only one takbir when prostrating, while there is no takbir or taslim when rising from it, unless a person is in prayer. If he is in prayer and comes upon a prostration verse, he says takbir when he prostrates and says takbir when he rises, because those who described the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:.
It is well known that he used to recite the prostration verse in prayer and prostrate. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated in the chapter:[Al-Inshiqaq 84:1], which he recited in the 'Isha' prayer, and he prostrated in it.
Therefore, the stronger opinion is that if prostration of recitation is separate from prayer, it contains only takbir when prostrating. However, if it is within the prayer, it contains takbir when prostrating and when rising from prostration.

When the sky has split [open]
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْTherefore, the stronger opinion is that if prostration of recitation is separate from prayer, it contains only takbir when prostrating. However, if it is within the prayer, it contains takbir when prostrating and when rising from prostration.
