The questioner : Regarding prostration of recitation in prayer, is the Sunnah to say takbir when going down to prostration and when rising from it, or is the Sunnah not to say takbir?
The Shaykh : The Sunnah, indeed the obligation, in prostration of recitation in prayer is to say takbir when one prostrates and to say takbir when one rises, because those who described the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say:.
And it is known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would prostrate when a verse of prostration passed him in prayer, so this prostration falls under the general rule that one says takbir whenever one lowers oneself and whenever one raises oneself.
As for when the prostration is outside of prayer, one says takbir when one prostrates and does not say takbir when one rises, and does not say the closing salam. This is the stronger opinion in this issue. Yes.
