What is the authenticity or evidence for the opinion that it is permissible for a worshipper, after performing the prostration of recitation (sujud at-tilawah), to continue reciting and then bow, or to bow directly without further recitation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a worshiper recites a surah that ends with a prostration (sajdah), they may either bow directly after the prostration or prostrate, then stand up and recite something, then bow. This is what Al-Mardawi mentioned, and it is found in the books of the Malikis and Shafi'is, and it was supported by some Companions and Tabi'un, such as Ibn Mas'ud and Omar, who stated that it is permissible to either bow or prostrate, and if one prostrates, they should recite after standing, and then bow.
