Question
What do the honourable
scholars say about this issue: a spot has appeared on my nose which causes me
considerable pain, especially when my nasal bone touches the floor when
prostrating. Am I allowed to prostrate without having to place my nasal bone on
the floor, and will my prayer be valid? Also, what is the ruling regarding all
the prayers I have offered without touching my nasal bone to the floor?
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ
الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
In
regard to your inquiry, if placing the nasal bone on the floor causes
difficulty and pain, you may prostrate without it touching the floor. Your
prayer will be valid without any karahat(disliking).
All the prayers you have offered in which you did not place your nasal bone on
the floor due to pain will also be considered valid. Bear in mind, placing and
pressing the nasal bone to the floor is necessary (wājib)
when there is no valid reason not to. Without this, prayer becomes makrūh taḥrīmī
and necessary(wājib) to repeat.
وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ
وَسَلَّم
