Can Prayers On Mattress? Come On, Find Out The Answer Here

YOGYAKARTA Prayer is a prayer that must be carried out by every Muslim by paying attention to the conditions and pillars. Under certain conditions, a person may not be able to perform prayers on the surface of the ground or floor, for example because of illness or limited space. If you are in that situation, can you pray on the bed? To find out the answer, let's look at the explanation below.

Quoted from the NU Online page, one of the provisions that must be fulfilled when praying is to remain silent or stay (istiqrar) in a place that meets directly with the earth or through an intermediary who later if traced to the bottom will meet (muttashil) with earth.

Other provisions that are required but only in the problem of prostration, namely the object of prostration does not come from something he brings. Therefore, it is permissible to prostrate on the tiles of buildings, prayer mats, tables, or the like, because all these objects are not included in the category of objects brought by people who pray.

It is different when a Muslim/Muslimah prostrates to the scarf he wears on his shoulder. In this case, his prostration is considered insufficient and causes his prayers to become invalid. The reason is, the scarf he wears is classified as an object brought by him, so he has been negligent in carrying out what is in this prostration.

The existing provisions in this prostration are exactly the same as the explanation in the book Fathul Muin. The following reads:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

The seventh Rukun is prostration twice every time a rakaat is carried away by him, even though the object moves because of its movement. Like prostration in bed (kasur) which also moves along with the movement of a praying person, because bed is not a category of objects carried by a praying person, then prostration to the bed is not a problem, as is the case of prostration to the object brought by a praying person, but does not move along with the movement of a praying person. Like prostration to the end of a very long scarf (Shekh Zinuddin Al-Maliabari, Fathul Muin, juz 1 thing. 190).

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that praying on an easy mattress is allowed and does not affect the validity of prayer. This is because the mattress does not include the object being carried, and the bottom remains directly connected (muttasil) to the ground. Thus, the two main requirements for prayer places have been met.

Even though prayers on the bed are allowed, the implementation must still be carried out with great caution, especially when prostration.

When prostration, seven body parts are required to stick to the prayer place, namely forehead, two palms, two knees, and the fingers of both legs.

Because the texture of an easy mattress can make it difficult to ensure that all the members prostrate perfectly, special attention is needed on this section.

In general, praying on the bed is not a problem from a legal point of view, because mattresses are legal objects used as places of prayer. However, it is important for people who pray on the bed to pay attention to the implementation of the pillars, especially when prostrating.

In addition, maintaining specialness is also important, because the comfort of a mattress can make a person complacent, thereby reducing the appreciation of the meaning of prayer.
