The answer

The fundamental principle concerning prostration (sujud) is that it should be directly on the earth or the prayer mat without any extra barrier. However, if the worshiper experiences difficulty in doing so due to intense heat or cold, it is permissible for them to spread their garment and prostrate on it. This is based on what is authentically reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim from the hadith of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "We used to pray with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in intense heat, and when one of us was unable to enable his forehead to touch the ground, he would spread his garment and prostrate on it."
