Prostrating on a shemagh during a cold and cough

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on placing a shemagh on the ground and prostrating on it when one has a cold and a cough?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it when there is a need. There is no harm in that. Or if the ground has an unpleasant smell, such as the carpets in mosques, which may have an unpleasant smell from some of the worshippers, he places his garment, his shemagh, or his ghutra, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
