Sajdah in Niqab | Ask Alimah

Question

is the sujood valid if the nose is covered while the forehead is open while in sujood? is it necessary for the nose part to touch directly the ground without any piece of cloth on nose?

Answer

May Allah bless you with piety (Taqwa) and purity, strong Imaan, forgiveness of sins, have mercy on you, elevate your status, and bless you with knowledge of Deen and generosity. Ameen!

Yes, it is necessary for your nose and forehead to touch the ground directly. However, if you are in a public place (non-Mahram men are around) and it is prayer time, you do not need to remove your niqaab or hijaab. Your prayer will be accepted.

And Allah knows best.
