Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How do you reconcile what is reported in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his avoidance of mud when prostrating, with what is reported in the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri regarding the Night of Decree, where he saw him prostrating in water and mud?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; this is permissible, and this is permissible. If one prostrates on water and mud, it is permissible. If one avoids the water and mud, that is also permissible. Yes.
