Summary
By default, Quranic verses are not recited during bowing and prostration, based on a prohibition in a hadith reported by Muslim. Some scholars consider the prohibition to mean haram, while the majority regard it as makruh. The prohibition is understood to apply when the verse is recited with the intention of reciting the Quran, whereas it is acceptable when intended as a supplication. Supplications taken from Quranic verses may be recited at the places for supplication in prayer, such as during prostration and at the end of the final tashahhud before the salam, which is the stronger view.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
