It is forbidden to recite the Quran during bowing (rukuk) and prostration (). If a worshipper does so, their recitation is disliked, but their prayer remains valid. If a congregant doubts whether the imam omitted glorification (tasbih) in bowing and prostration, the default assumption is that the imam performed it. If the imam intentionally or forgetfully omits it, their prayer is still valid, as glorification in these positions is (recommended) and not obligatory.
