Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: May Allah reward you. Are the decorations on the mosque carpets considered among the prohibited decorations? Knowing that they distract the worshipper more than the decorations on the walls, because the worshipper’s gaze is always directed toward the place of prostration?
Answer:
Yes, it should be that there are no decorations or drawings on the carpets that distract the worshippers. It is better if they are plain, or even without any drawings at all; being free of drawings is best. As for slight and ordinary drawings, they do no harm. But drawings that catch the eye are disliked. Yes.
