Is it permissible to prostrate on the edge of the shemagh?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I saw some of the worshippers prostrating on the edge of the shemagh during their prostration. Is this permissible?

Answer:
If this is for a need, there is no harm. If the ground is hot, or has thorns, pebbles, or something that would hurt him, there is no harm in him placing a protection for his forehead to prostrate on. There is no harm.
