Which is better: prostrating on a cushion or on the ground, even if the feet are turned away from the qiblah?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks and says: A person is unable to place his knees on the ground due to an illness in them. So when he prostrates in his prayer on the ground, he turns his feet to the right or to the left. And when he prostrates on a cushion, he keeps his feet facing the qiblah. Which of the two methods should he follow?

Answer:
He should prostrate on a cushion, or prostrate on the ground if possible. Even if he turns his feet, as long as he places his feet on the ground to the best of his ability, he has fulfilled the obligatory act, which is prostrating on seven bones, including the feet. So if he places his feet on the ground, even if they are turned, or even if only the tips of his toes are on the ground, that is sufficient, especially if he is unable to do more than that. And Allah the Exalted said: . As for prostrating on a cushion, this is something the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited. It was reported that he entered upon a sick man to visit him and found him praying on a cushion. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and threw it away, and said: The sick man prays standing, and if he cannot, then sitting, and if he cannot, then on his side, and he indicates his bowing and prostration. Yes.
