The prostration of recitation is not obligatory, and it is permissible to prostrate while wearing pure shoes. One who recites while seated on a chair should descend to prostrate. If the reciter is not in a state of ritual purity, some scholars say to skip the prostration, while others hold that it should not be skipped.
