Prostrating on something when there is a need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man asks and says: I have a very severe allergy, O Shaykh, especially in my nose. So when I prostrate, I place the end of my shemagh on the ground and then prostrate on it.

Answer:
There is no harm in prostrating on something if you need to. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to pray the midday prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the ground was hot from the sun’s heat. So one of them would place his prayer mat on the ground and prostrate on it. Yes.
