AL-KAFI #1543 : MEMBACA AYAT SAJADAH DI DALAM SOLAT DENGAN TUJUAN UNTUK MELAKUKAN SUJUD TILAWAH
Is the prayer invalidated if someone recites a verse of prostration in prayer with the intention of performing a recitation prostration?
Short answer
According to the Shafii scholars, the prayer is invalidated when a person deliberately recites a verse of prostration solely to perform the recitation prostration, because this adds an extra physical pillar, namely prostration.

Summary
According to the Shafii scholars, the prayer is invalidated when a person deliberately recites a verse of prostration solely to perform the recitation prostration, because this adds an extra physical pillar, namely prostration. Reciting such a verse for recitation alone, or for recitation together with prostration, is permissible. An exception is made for the Friday dawn prayer, where reciting Surah as-Sajdah is recommended even with the intention of prostrating. Those who forget or are unaware of the ruling are excused.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, dapatlah difahami bahawa solat seseorang terbatal sekiranya dia membaca mana-mana ayat sajadah di dalam solat secara sengaja, semata-mata dengan tujuan untuk melakukan sujud (tilawah) dan bukan pada keadaan yang lain.
