The Ruling on Praying on Asphalt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. What is your opinion regarding praying on asphalt, for example, when it is sprinkled with water?
The Shaykh : It is permissible for a person to prostrate on anything from the earth, and on things other than the earth as well, such as a cotton or wool mattress. The only important thing is that he is able to place his forehead on the ground, whether he prostrates on a mattress, a mat, the earth, sand, or something other than sand.
