The ruling on uncovering the forehead during prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one prostrates in prayer, is it obligatory for me to uncover my forehead by removing the cap and the like?
Answer:
It is not obligatory, but placing the forehead directly on the ground or directly on the prayer mat is the default. It is recommended to do so. If there is an excuse, such as the heat of the ground, or if there is thorns or pebbles in the ground, there is no harm in placing a barrier between one’s forehead, nose, and hands. Yes.
