Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on praying on carpets that have patterns or decorations?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but seeking out plain ones is better; because they are further removed from distractions. Otherwise, the prayer is valid.
Q: Even if they have images on them?
A: Images are likewise, even more reprehensible. One should seek out what has nothing on it, so that it does not distract him.
Q: The hadith of Abu Juhaym, does it indicate prohibition?
A: Correct, it indicates dislike so that it does not distract him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed on the khamisah, then sent it to Abu Juhaym.
Q: Clothing with images on it, does one pray in it?
A: One does not wear clothing with images on it. He should keep it away and wear clean clothing. He should leave this to be used as cushions and the like.
