Question:
And so on. And the first prayer on the mat. Do you see that? Did you hear it with him?
Answer:
Praying on a mat, or on a reed mat, or on a carpet, is all permissible, and praise be to Allah.
And as I mentioned to you, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes prostrated on the ground, sometimes on a reed mat, and sometimes on whatever was available. He did not make it difficult for himself (peace and blessings be upon him) to adopt a specific state. The one who says that prostrating on a mat is a religious innovation (bid'ah)—his statement is the innovation. His statement is the innovation. His saying this is a religious innovation because he has said something in Islam for which there is no evidence. What prevents praying on a mat? Unless the mat
