[Q 201] When the Student Recites the Verse of Sajdah to the Teacher, on Whom will Sajdah be Wajib?

Question

If someone is a teacher in a madrasa. When the student recites to the teacher recites an ayat in which you have to perform sajdah.

Who would perform the sajdah in this case? Just the teacher and the student. Or the entire class. If all students are reading loudly

 بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

الجواب بعون الملك الوهاب اللهم هداية الحق والصواب

Answer

In the asked case, sajda (tilawat) will be Wajib (necessary) upon those who have recited the verse of sajda and upon those individuals who are “baligh” (the person who has hit puberty) who have heard the verse of sajda. Sajda tilawat will not be wajib upon those who are occupied and busy reading and those who have not heard the verse of sajda.
