The answer

According to the majority of jurists (Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools), prostrating on one's hair, sleeve, turban tail, or turban coil does not invalidate the prayer. However, prostrating on these items is not permissible in the Shafi'i school and is considered among the things that invalidate prayer. It is advisable to avoid this to steer clear of scholarly disagreement.
