What to Do After Sajdah Tilawah in Prayer: Recite or Go to Ruku?

Understanding the Ruling on Sajdah Tilawah and Proceeding to Ruku

Question:After performing the prostration of recitation (Sajdah Tilawah) during prayer, should we go directly into Ruku (bowing) or recite some verses first?

Answer: Both options are permissible. The Imam can either go directly into Ruku without reciting additional verses, or he may choose to recite some verses before going into Ruku. Both practices are valid because the Prophet (ﷺ) did not give a specific command regarding this matter.
