I will be mentioning the view of the Shia and Sunni in his answer Sunni: Why don't Sunnis pray on a stone made from clay?

First Hadith: The Prophet may peace be upon him said: I have been conferred upon five things which were not granted to anyone before me and these are : Every apostle wassent particularly to his own people, whereas I have been sent to all the red and the black the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, and these were never made lawful to anyone before me, and the earth has been made sacred and pure and mosque for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for any one of you he should pray whenever he is , and I have been supported by awe by which the enemy is overwhelmed from the distance which one takes one month to cover and I have been granted intercession.

Why do Sunnis consider it taboo? Shia: Why do shia pray on a stone made from clay? In many hadiths transmitted by Shi'a and Sunni , the Prophet s and his companions prostrated on soil, pebbles, [1] and mat from palm leaves.

After a while, using turbah became common among Shi'a and turned to a Shi'a symbol. According to Shi'a fiqh , turbah is not essential in prostration and the obligation in prostration is to prostrate on the soil, elements of the ground, or things which grow from the ground except edible and wearable things. Also according to Shi'a fiqh, prostrating on the soil from Karbala is recommended and it is the best thing to prostrate on.

Some marja's declared it impermissible to use turbah in some conditions or places; such as prostrating on turbah in Masjid al-Nabi and Masjid al-Haram for being flagrant and preparing the grounds for abusing Shi'a and that it is against taqiyya and unity of Muslims. According to the rulings of Sunni scholars of fiqh, it is not obligatory to put the forehead on the soil in prostration, but prostrating on anything which is not najis is valid.

One day it rained heavily. However, this never happened. Narrations about the Straw Mat. We also have many narrations from Sunni sources that the Prophet pbuh would have a small straw square that he would prostrate on. As this is made from trees, it is considered a product of the earth. Therefore, it is at least a precaution to avoid praying on carpet as the Prophet pbuh did not ever do this.

Imam al-Sadiq as says:. Prostration on paper is permitted, because it is made of a material which grows on earth, but not cloth or carpets. The legal scholars of all the Sunni schools of law concur regarding the validity of prostration on earth and that which grows on it. According to this hadith only in exceptional circumstances would the Prophet s and his Companions prostrate on cloth. The special characteristics of the soil of Karbala Iraq were known and it was an object of special attention during the time of the Prophet s as well as in later times:.

The Prophet s was kissing the dust and weeping. I asked him what that soil was. The Prophet s said: "Gabriel has informed me that my son, this Husayn, will be murdered in Iraq. He has brought this earth for me from that land.

I am weeping for the suffering that will befall my Husayn. Then she knew that Husayn bin Ali a had been martyred. He took a handful of its soil and exclaimed: 'Ah, ah, on this spot some men will be slain, and will enter Paradise without reckoning!

But the Shi'ah prefer to prostrate on the earth of Karbala because of the importance given to it by the Prophet s and the Imams from his Family Ahl al-Bayt.
