What is the ruling of the Sharia on someone who recites a prostration verse every Friday in the Fajr prayer, and the congregants prostrate with him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The scholars have differed regarding the Imam's recitation of a Sūrah containing a prostration (Sajdah). The Malikis dislike it in both silent and audible prayers. As for the Shafi'is, they do not dislike it in either prayer. The Hanafis and some Hanbalis dislike the Imam's recitation of the Sajdah in silent prayers but not in audible ones.
