The ruling on prostrating on a barrier attached to the one praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on prostrating on a barrier if this barrier is attached to the one praying, such as prostrating on the end of a shemagh or a ghutra?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it if there is a need; there is nothing wrong with it, such as the heat of the ground or if there is something in it that would hurt him, so he spreads his shemagh or ghutra on the ground, just as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to spread the ends of their turbans and prostrate on them. If there is a need, there is nothing wrong with it, and even if he does it without a need, it does not affect the prayer itself.
