Question:
Is it wajib to do sajdah-e-tilwah when reading an English translation of the Qur’an? What about listening to an English translation?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is wājib upon the reciter to perform sajdah tilāwah when reading an English translation of a sajdah verse.[1]
And Allah Ta’ālā Knows Best
