Question

I wanted to enquire about whether one needs to be in a state of Wudhu when doing the Sajdah Tilaawat.

Answer

In principle, the conditions for the validity of Salaah apply to the validity of a Sajdah Tilaawat.

Hence, Wudhu is also required for Sajdah Tilaawat. [Tahtawi Page 498]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
