Summary
The prostration of recitation is recommended for both the reciter and the listener of a verse of prostration, whether inside or outside prayer, according to the established position of the Shafi'i school. Even when performed outside prayer, it is subject to the validity conditions of prayer, such as purification from hadath and najis, covering the awrah and facing the qibla. A person in a state of hadath therefore may not perform it, and doing so is forbidden. The prostration is also valid only after the verse has been fully recited or heard.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, bagi mereka yang berhadas tidak boleh melakukan sujud Sajdah bahkan hukumnya adalah haram.
