Question

What is the ruling with regard to listening to an Aayat of Sajdah from a recording?

Answer

The ruling is that if one listens to an Ayatus-Sajdah from a recording, Sajdah Tilawah will not become Wajib upon the listener as this is similar to hearing an echo of an Ayatus- Sajdah (in which case too, Sajdah Tilawah does not become Wajib).
