The Ruling on Prostrating on the Edge of a Shemagh or Turban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people prostrate on a piece of cloth, or on the end of a shemagh, or sometimes on a turban or a cap that obstructs them. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
This is disliked (makruh) unless there is a need for it, such as if the place is hot, or has thorns, or has some kind of bad smell. If it is not under his hands or his face, there is no harm in that. However, without a need, it is disliked (makruh).
