Summary
The prostration of recitation is recommended for a person who hears a verse of prostration through radio, television and similar devices, following the majority view of scholars. Hearing it this way is treated the same as hearing directly from a reciter behind a wall or at a distance. The Hanafi scholars consider it obligatory, but this fatwa adopts the majority view that it is a strongly recommended act. The prostration may be delayed if circumstances do not permit, such as an unsuitable place, being without wudu or being unable to face the qibla.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
kami berpendapat bahawa disunatkan untuk sujud tilawah bagi sesiapa yang mendengar bacaan ayat-ayat sajadah melalui corong radio, televisyen dan lain-lain berdasarkan pendapat jumhur ulama'.
