Summary
A turban or shawl that is not worn or is separate from the body may be prostrated upon without invalidating the prayer. If the turban tail or shawl is attached to the body and moves with the worshipper's movements, prostrating on it is not allowed. The prayer is invalid if this is done deliberately and with knowledge of the ruling, whereas if the person forgot or was unaware, the prayer is not invalid but the prostration must be repeated. If the tail of a turban or shawl blocks the place of prostration, it should be moved aside so that the forehead touches the place of prostration.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun jika tali serban atau kain rida itu bersambung dengan badan dan bergerak dengan pergerakan orang yang solat tersebut, maka tidak boleh untuk sujud di atasnya dan solatnya batal.
