Sajdat at tilaawa verse heard by a woman in menses or lochia

Question

A woman who is menstruating or bleeding from childbirth cannot perform the prostration of recitation (sajdat at-tilawah). If she hears an ayah requiring prostration, is it necessary for her to perform it later?

Answer

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما

In principle, only people who are required to pray salah are required to perform sajdah upon hearing a verse of sajdah. Thus, people who are not required to pray, such as menstruating women or children would not be required to perform sajdah upon hearing such a verse.

والله اعلم

Allah Knows best.
