As salaamu Alaykum Mufti Saheb
What is the ruling of a sajdah aayah which I s recited in salaah.. meaning if the aayat comes at the end of the surah. For instance Surah Alaq .. when is that sajdah made ?
Answer
Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
If you are praying alone and recite a verse of Sajda at the end of the Rak’ah, you will have two options:
- Either you proceed into Sajda, and when you come you may recite a verse or two from the next Surah (Surah al-Qadr – in your example), and then proceed into Ruku’
- Immediately after reciting the verse of Sajda, you go into Ruku’, but make the intention of Sajda at-Tilawah in the Ruku’.
Both of these options are correct, but the second option is better.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best
Wassalaam,
