Summary
In the Shafi'i school, the sitting after rising from a prostration of recitation is recommended to be tawarruk, the same as the sitting in the final tashahhud. The scholars' general guideline is that a sitting followed by another movement is done in iftirash, while a sitting followed only by the salam is done in tawarruk. Since nothing follows the prostration of recitation except the salam, it takes the ruling of tawarruk.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kedudukan duduk selepas bangun dari sujud tilawah disunatkan duduk secara tawarruk (seperti ketika tahiyat akhir).
