The preponderant opinion among the majority of scholars is that the prostration of recitation ( al-Tilawah) has the same ruling as a supererogatory prayer (Salat al-Nafl). Therefore, it requires the same conditions as a supererogatory prayer: ritual purity from minor and major impurities, cleanliness from filth, covering of the 'awrah (private parts), and facing the qiblah; because it is, in reality, a prayer.
