Question

When praying at home where you are certain that there is no najaasat on the floor, will it be ok to pray directly on the floor? Or is it still better to use a prayer rug?

Answer

If the floor is clean, one can perform Salaah on the floor or on a Musallah.

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

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
