Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abu al-Walid narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: Sulayman al-Shaybani narrated to us from 'Abdullah ibn Shaddad from Maymunah, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 5850.
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
We have previously mentioned that the khamr is the amount that covers a person's face, meaning a piece of cloth like a handkerchief that a person uses to protect himself from the heat of the sun or the harshness of the ground, or something similar. We have also previously mentioned that the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said: "It is disliked to designate one's forehead with what one prostrates upon, so that one does not thereby resemble the Rafidah". Yes.
The questioner : ... Can this hadith be used as a basis for the prayer mat ...
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but the fact that one prays only on a prayer mat is a religious innovation. Yes.
Did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to offer the prayers with his shoes on?
