Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on the prayer of one who has a barrier between his forehead and the ground during prostration, such as a cap?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The issue of the cap, or a garment, or something similar, is that there is nothing wrong with prostrating on it, especially if there is a need, such as the heat of the ground, or if it contains thorns or pebbles, or to protect oneself. So there is nothing wrong with that. However, if there is no need, it is better for the one praying to place his limbs directly on the ground.
