Summary
Praying on a prayer mat printed with a picture of the Kaaba, a mosque or the like is permissible as long as it does not disturb one's concentration in prayer. A mat without pictures is preferable, since pictures may reduce focus, as shown by the hadith of the patterned garment that distracted the Prophet from his prayer. A mat with a Kaaba picture carries no special merit over other mats because the picture is merely decoration, and one must not believe otherwise.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat di atas sejadah yang bergambar ka'bah atau masjid dan seumpamanya adalah harus selagi ia tidak mengganggu khusuk dalam solat.
