Question:
He says: The method was born, and she did not say that, but do not say to them to send the symptoms, meaning to send what is between themselves, and they did not send anything different, except the evening, so this is not permissible.
Answer:
Prostrating on a cushion or on a box is not permissible. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a sick man who had placed a cushion to prostrate on, he (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and threw it away, and said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:357 So the sick man indicates the bowing and prostration while sitting; he indicates with his head while sitting and does not prostrate on anything elevated.
