Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to pray on a bed, given that we have heard some people say that praying on something not attached to the ground is not valid? What is the correct ruling in this matter?
Answer:
A bed is not attached to the ground. If the bed is fixed, like a roof, you may pray on it; there is no harm. If you pray on a roof, you pray on the roof of the mosque; people pray on the roofs of the two Holy Mosques. This is like a roof. If it is stable and does not disturb you in your bowing and prostration, there is no harm. Yes.
