Dear Mufti,

 

May Allah bless you and your team for creating such an source about islam and everything related to us. 

 

I have a clarification on sajdah. When we read Quran and when the sajdah ayah comes we have prostrate and my doubt is when I listen to surah sajdah, do I have to prostrate each time i hear to audio of surah sajdah?

Answer:

No. sajdah tilawah is not necessary when the sajdah verse is heard over an audio or recording. However, if the sajdah verse is heard over a radio or receiver and the recitation is a live recitation, then sajdah tilawah is necessary.

And Allah knows best.
