Prostration of recitation (Sujud al-Tilawah) is a Sunnah according to the majority of scholars and holds great virtue. It is disliked by the Malikis during the prohibited times, except that they made an exception for prostration after Fajr until it brightens, and after Asr as long as the sun has not turned yellow and is not close to setting. The dislike (karaha) for them is not for prohibition except at sunrise or sunset.
