Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it prescribed for the one who passes a prostration verse to place the mushaf in front of him and prostrate on it, or place it under his armpits, or place it on his turban if his turban is on the ground? Is this prescribed?

Answer:
He should raise it above the ground or on anything, even if it is the turban or the mushaf holder; he should raise it and not place it on the ground or the dust. However, if it is on a carpet or a prayer mat, that is a different matter. Yes.
