Performing Salaah on a thin foam mattress

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What is the Shari’ah ruling on reading salaah on a foam mattress. The mattress is approximately 12mm thin and is made of sponge. The mattress provides a cushion, thus reducing pain on feet, knees, etc.

Bismillaah

A: If the forehead is firm on the ground at the time of Sajdah, the Salaah will be valid.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

ولو سجد على الحشيش أو التبن أو على القطن أو الطنفسة أو الثلج إن استقرت جبهته وأنفه ويجد حجمه يجوز وإن لم تستقر لا (الفتاوى الهندية 1 /70)
