The Intention of Recitation Prostration with the Prostration of Prayer
What is the ruling for someone who recited a prostration of recitation during prayer but did not prostrate immediately, and when they prostrated, they intended it also as the prostration of recitation?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If one reads in prayer, the prostration becomes obligatory immediately, and its time is missed if one does not prostrate during the prayer. The prostration after the prayer does not suffice for the prostration in the prayer, and it is sufficient to prostrate during the prayer even if it is another prostration, although it is disliked. And God knows best.
