Sajda-e-tilawat for English translation?

[a.s.]

Is sajda-e-tilawat still supposed to be done when hearing or listening to a sajda verse in a language other than Arabic, such as English.

[AbuMohammed]

Great Question. I need the answer to that too. I just read the whole of iQuran in English and wanted to know if Sajdah Tilawat was needed to be done. In the mean time, I will do it any way, (can't go wrong for doing Sajdah), but need to know for future reference.

I could only find this so far.


Sajda Tilawat

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. 1) If the Ayat of Sajjda is heard while listening to Tape/Radio, is it necessary to perform the Sajjda Tilawat?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. 1) If the Aayat of Sajdah is heard on tape recorder or played on radio, Sajda Tilaawat is not necessary. If the recitation is live on Radio, Sajda Tilawat is necessary.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. 2) During the month of Ramadan the mosque speakers are used in the Taraweeh. The voice is also heard outside the mosque. As the whole Quran is recited in the Taraweeh and obviously Ayaat of Sajjda are also recited. Now a person sitting at his home hears those Ayaat, is he going to perform those Sajjda Tilawat?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. 2) Yes.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. 3) What is the correct way to do Sajda Tilawat? Do we need to say Takbir and give salam to both sides like in salat?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.) Sajda-e-Tilawat is simply to make sajda by saying Allahu-Akbar, going into sajda, and reciting three times 'Subhaana rabbi-al a'alaa'. There is no need to stand or even raise the hands, as one would do when commencing Salat. There is also no salam on any side after making the sajda. And Allah Knows Best.

According to this, If it is prayed in the mind (like we would with the English) then there..... Please see answer.

Also According to this:
In Nur al Idah it says: "The prostration (of recitation) becomes wajib upon anyone who recites one of its verses, even if it is recited in Persian or in any other language and this is agreed upon." [p 248]

It goes on to say, "Hearing the verse of prostration in Persian or any other language and understanding it, makes it necessary to prostrate. Indeed, this ruling is the one relied upon. This is what Imam Muhammad (ra) and Imam Abu Yusuf (ra) held though Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) said it is necessary even if one does not understand its meaning but was informed to prostrate." [p 250]

Sajdah Must be done.
