Question

Assalamu alaykum.

I was reading surah Maryam and came to the ayah with sajdah. I stopped reciting and made the sajdah. Now to resume my recitation can I go directly to the next ayah or do I follow the rules of restarting after qata' i.e recite the taawuz first (with or without the basmalah) and then start?

Jazakallahu khayran

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

We asked those of knowledge to be sure, and it is not considered to be , which is changing from the state of recitation to another state, since the sajdah is part of the recitation, or an adjunct to it.  There is therefore no need for the isti'aathah after the sajdah on the condition that one does not talk or do something not related to the recitation.  As stated in the question,  one would return directly to their recitation and continue with the next aayah.

Wa iyyakum wa-l-muslimeen.
