Rulings Regarding Prayer- Sajdah- Part 6

 

In the previous episode, we explained the things on which it is permissible to perform sajdah; however, if one cannot find anything on which performing sajdah is permitted, they must perform their prayer anyway. In this regard, the following rules must be observed:

1-one must place their forehead on their clothes or on the carpet, but if their clothes are made of cotton, they must put their forehead only on their clothes 2- if it is not possible to do so, they must perform sajdah on metals and minerals 3-and if they cannot find anything at all on which performing sajdah is permitted, they must perform sajdah by placing their forehead on the back of their hand; therefore, the back of one's hand is the last thing on which one is permitted to perform sajdah.

If one happened to lose the turbah during prayer, say, a child picked up their turbah, they must act as follows: if the time of prayer is not short, and they have nothing with them on which performing sajdah is correct, they must conclude the prayer and based on precaution perform it again.

But if time is short, they must perform sajdah as it was prescribed earlier and continue the prayer, and they do not need to perform the Qadā prayer later.

If the color of turbah changes, it does not cause a problem for prayer, but one must be careful to place their forehead on the soil, and if any dirt has covered the surface of the turbah to such an extent that it prevents the forehead from coming in direct contact with the soil, then prostrating on this turbah is not valid.

Furthermore, if men's hair or women's headscarf prevents their forehead from coming in direct contact with the turbah, without raising their heads from the turbah they must pull their hair or headscarf out so that the forehead come in contact with the turbah, and they must recite the dhikr of sajdah after their body becomes still.

If in the above condition a part of one's forehead still touches the turbah it is sufficient and it is not necessary to pull aside their hair or headscarf.
