Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the one who prostrates on the edge of his shemagh considered to be going against the Sunnah?
Answer:
If it is without need, yes, because we said that it is not to be restricted to his forehead. However, if he spreads it out entirely and prays on it, there is nothing wrong with that. But if he restricts his forehead to something without an excuse, this is disliked, though his prayer is valid. Yes.
