Sujūd (Prostration) is one of the obligatory components of ṣalāt (Prayer), recognized by all Islamic schools of jurisprudence as a ritual act with specific conditions. However, there is a divergence of opinion regarding the characteristics of the surface upon which the forehead must rest. The fatwā of the jurists of the ahl al-bayt school stipulates that the sujūd must be performed directly on al-arḍ (the earth) or on nabāt (vegetation) growing from it, provided that the surface is neither taʾkul (edible) nor libās (wearable). In contrast, jurists of other schools consider al-arḍ as the place of sujūd regardless of whether it is the bare earth itself or sajjāda (carpets) and other objects placed upon it.This discrepancy often raises questions, particularly for worshippers in Two Holy Sanctuaries, as to why the Shite use a miṣbāḥa (prayer stone/mohr). Consequently, this article employs a comparative and analytical methodology, relying on Islamic texts—particularly those transmitted through Sunni sources—to investigate this issue. The study concludes that while the miṣbāḥa itself holds no independent ontological status, the forehead must rest directly on al-arḍ itself.
Implications: Beyond its jurisprudential significance, this research offers a framework for resolving practical conflicts in shared sacred spaces. By clarifying the ontological distinction between the miṣbāḥa and the al-arḍ, the findings aim to foster mutual understanding and reduce sectarian friction among Muslims, thereby promoting religious tolerance and unity without compromising doctrinal integrity
