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 ghutrah?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it if there is a need; there is nothing wrong with it, such as if the ground is hot or if there is something in it that would hurt him, so he spreads his shemagh or ghutrah on the ground. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to spread the ends of their turbans and prostrate on them. This need is not a problem, and even if one did it without a need, it does not affect the prayer.
