Question:
We see some people during prayer placing their ghutrah under their forehead during prostration while in the mosque, so what is the ruling?
Answer:
If he has a reason, such as the mat or prayer rug not being clean, or having a bad smell, and he places his ghutrah to avoid this, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if there is no reason, it is disliked. They say it is disliked to distinguish one's forehead with something while the rest of the body is not, because this is a mark of the Shi'ah. Unless there is a reason, such as heat, thorns, the place not being clean, or it having a bad smell. Yes, if he has a valid reason, there is nothing wrong with it.
