The ruling on placing a turban or ghutrah in the place of prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I see some people, when they come to prostrate, place their turban or the end of their ghutrah in the place of their prostration. Is their action valid?
The Shaykh:
If it is for a need, there is no harm. If it is placed for a need, there is no harm. But without a need, this is disliked.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
The Companions would pray the midday prayer, and if the ground was hot from the heat of the sun, they would place their turbans and prostrate on them to avoid the heat of the sun. So if this is for a need, there is no harm.
