Performing the sajdah tilaawat after some time

Q: After one had recited a Sajdah Tilawat aayat, how soon should the sajdah be made? Must it be made immediately or can the sajdah be made at any other time?

A: It is better to do the sajdah-e-tilaawah immediately. If one does not do it immediately but does it later, it will be permissible but makrooh-e-tanzihi (disliked).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
