Is it permissible to offer salaat on a four-legged bed which is above the ground if<\/span>
\n1) the mattress is not that thick.<\/span>
\n2) if the mattress is thick but we will keep a hardboard or book beneath the prayer mat at the place of sajdah?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer<\/u><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is obligatory to prostrate on something which the forehead can completely stabilize; prostration is not permitted on things such as snow, hay, or rice in which the head cannot stabilize or settle.\u00a0 (Nurul Idah p.118)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The conclusion we can come to is that it is permissible to prostrate on such mattresses which is quite stiff and hard; as long as the worshipper can place his forehead and nose firmly on the surface when prostrating. (Fathul Qadeer p.304 v.1)<\/span><\/p>\n
