Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I see some of the worshippers, when they prostrate, place an end of the ghutrah under their face. What is the ruling on this action? Knowing that we pray on good mats and carpets?
Answer:
If he needs this, there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if the mat has a smell, or if he has a sensitivity, or if there are thorns, pebbles, or the heat of the ground in the place, there is nothing wrong with placing a protection to prostrate on when in need. Yes.
