Ruling on a worshipper placing the end of his garment to prostrate upon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q157: The questioner, A. A. from Riyadh, asks: What is the ruling on placing a shemagh on the mosque carpet and prostrating upon it, as we see some worshippers doing in the mosques?
A157: If the mosque carpet has a smell, or if there is dust in it,
or if there is a reason for placing the shemagh to protect his nose from the smell or the dust, then there is nothing wrong with that. However, if there is no reason, it is better for the worshipper to place his nose and forehead directly on the prayer mat.
