Ruling on prostrating on the turban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the taqiyah, is prostrating on it permissible or not permissible?
Prostrating on the (taqiyah), on the ghutrah, or on the garment one is wearing is disliked; because this is something attached to the one praying.And Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (We used to pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in intense heat, and if one of us could not place his forehead on the ground, he would spread out his garment and prostrate on it) This indicates that they do not prostrate on their garments or on what is attached to them except when there is a need.He says: (If one of us could not place his forehead on the ground) But if there is no need, it is disliked.
Accordingly, prostrating on the edge of the taqiyah is disliked; because there is no need for it. So let a person lift his taqiyah when prostrating, so that he can place his forehead directly on the place of prostration.
As for a separate object, such as a person prostrating on a mat or a large handkerchief that accommodates his palms, forehead, and nose, there is nothing wrong with it; because it is separate. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (that he prayed on the khamrah), which is a small mat that accommodates the palms and forehead of the one praying.
