Pearl of Wisdom

'He who usurps the property of a believer without having right to it, Allah continues to abandon him, despising all the good and righteous deeds that he performs, not recording them among his good deeds until and unless he repents and returns the property that he seized to its rightful owner.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

'Await al-La'dli, v.l, p. 364, no. 56

Question : #628

Category: Salaat / Prayers

Subject:	Prayers
Question:	I read Friday congregation prayers with our fellow brothers and sisters from the Sunni school of thought and I am Shi'a, and because I was worried about what they might think/do I place my forehead on just the prayer mat and not on a Torbah, earth, stone, leaf or hand. Is my prayer still accepted for placing my forehead on just the prayer mat?
Answer:	Not prostrating on the permissible items makes a prayer invalid, whereas praying on carpet is considered void. However prostration on carpets in the case of Taqiyah (dissimulation) or out of necessity is permissible and there would be no objection in it.
