Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister A. S. from Riyadh says in her question: When I pray in the Sacred Mosque, I cover my face because there are non-Mahram men around me. However, when I prostrate, I remove the covering so that my face directly touches the ground during prostration. What is the ruling on this action? Please advise us, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
This action is good; because it is better for the prayer-worshipper’s face to directly touch the ground. If you prostrate on your head covering, there is no harm. May Allah guide everyone to what pleases Him.
