Surahs and du'aas in salaah with illustrations of the postures printed on a musalla for non-Muslims to perform salaah on
Question
Can these musallas be used for new Muslims so they can read the correct du'aas and surahs in salaah?
It's basically a 1.5 metre piece of leather/strong plastic, and printed on it are; Surah Faatiha and two other surahs plus all the du'aas in salaah with an illustration of the posture they're to be recited in.
The idea is for the new Muslim to pray their salaah on this mat, reading from it and following the illustrations as they pray their salaah. This mat goes directly on the ground and the person is standing on it.
Answer
In namaaz it is not correct to read from any book or written page etc. Further, placing it on the ground will amount to disrespect.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
