Is it sufficient to glorify Allah (make Tasbih) instead of prostrating when passing a verse of prostration (Ayat as-Sajdah) during Quran recitation while wearing a headscarf, especially since there are verses that warn those who do not prostrate, such as "And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate"? And if glorifying Allah is not sufficient, is it permissible to postpone the prostration?

Prostration of recitation ( Al-Tilawah) is a , not an obligation, according to the majority of scholars. The verse, "And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate," refers to a lack of obedience and submission. It is Sunnah for the reader and the listener to perform a single prostration, and there is no evidence that it is permissible to glorify Allah (tasbih) instead of it. Covering the 'awrah is a condition for prostration according to most scholars.
