Quran:
Assalaamu Alaikum I would like to find out if you can read out the Holy Quran and then make the 14 Sajdas or when you reach each Sajda you have to make it same time. Please explain in detail.
Jazakallah.

Answer:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
Making the Sajda of tilawah (Sajda of recitation ) is Wajib when the relevant verses of Sajda are recited. The practice of the Prophet (SA) was that of making a Sajda when he recited the verse of Sajda, and this was the practice that became established as the Sunnah. However, seeing that delaying the Sajda is permissible, it means that if one makes the Sajda after the complete recitation of the Quran, it will be permissible when this was done outside Salaah. The best however, is that one should do the Sajda as soon as he recites the verse of Sajda.
If the verse of the Sajda was recited in Salaah, then one will have to perform the Sajda while in Salaah
And Allah knows best,
