Question
What is Sajdah-e-Tilawah?
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
Sajdah Tilawat is those 14 Ayahs in the Qur’an which makes sajdah necessary when it is read or heard in the prayer or outside the prayer.[1]
Even if the listener does not intend to listen to the verses, still it is wajib (compulsory) upon him to do the sajdah.[2]
Only Allah knows best
