Question:
Is it valid for a person to prostrate on his forehead without his nose?

Answer:
It is valid; his prostration is valid, but his prostration is incomplete. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones.أمرت أن أسجد على سبعة أعظم
Sunan Ibn Majah 883Sahih (Darussalam)
. The two hands, the two knees, and the two feet, and he pointed to his forehead and his nose. The nose follows the forehead.
