The questioner : Some people also say that it is not permissible to sit on a prayer mat because it has an image of the Ka'bah; does he sit on it?
The Shaykh : There is no blame in this either.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : That is, there is nothing wrong with placing a mat and sitting on it, even if it has an image of the Ka'bah or an image of the chamber of the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the person sitting on it does not intend to demean the Ka'bah or demean the chamber of the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Moreover, this is not actually the chamber of the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor is it the actual Ka'bah. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This caller, Abu Muhammad from Al-Ayn in the Emirates, says.
