1. Fatwa by Ibn Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah)
Sajdatut Tilaawah is a confirmed Sunnah which should not be abandoned ,so if a person come to a verse in which there is a prostration, he should prostrate, whether he is reading from the Book, or reciting by heart or in prayer or outside prayer. As for the obligation, it is not obligatory and a person does not commit a sin if he does not do it. This is because it has been authentically reported from the Commander of the believers, ?Umar bin Khattaab, may Allaah be pleased with him, that he recited a Verse of prostration in Surah An-Nahl from the pulpit, then he descended and prostrated, then he recited it on another Friday and he did not prostrate. Then he said: ?Verily Allaah did not make the prostration incumbent upon us, except as we will?. This occurred in the presence of the Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them.
