Is it permissible to prostrate on a shemagh or a garment during prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on placing a barrier between you and the ground during prostration in prayer, such as a shemagh or something else?

Answer:
If you need to do this because the ground is hot, for example, or because there is an odor on the ground or on the mat, and you place your shemagh, there is nothing wrong with that out of necessity.
