Ruling on standing up to do sajdat al-tilaawah
Question: 4950
If a person is reading
Qur’aan sitting down in the mosque or elsewhere, and he reaches an ayah where a
sajdah is prescribed, is it better for him to stand up to do the sajdah, or should he
prostrate from his sitting position? Which is better?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We know of no evidence (daleel) to suggest
that he should stand up in order to do sajdat al-tilaawah.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our
Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
