Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to place something to prostrate on?
Answer:
If the place is hot, or has thorns, or has pebbles, and he places a covering to prostrate on in order to be at ease in prostration, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the place is suitable and has nothing that would hurt him, prostrating on the ground or on the prayer mat is better for him than placing something there.
