When praying on sand, do your feet need to touch the ground directly?

Assalamu alaikum. I was traveling and had to pray outside since I couldn't find a place indoors. The ground was sandy, so I took off my shoes because I wasn't sure if the soles were pure-I had used a portable toilet earlier. To keep clean, I put my jacket down and prayed on it, but during sujood I rested my feet on my shoes to avoid getting sandy. Later, I remembered that your toes should touch the ground during prayer, and I'm worried mine didn't always touch the shoes or the jacket. Does this make my salah invalid?

Man, I've been there! The struggle is real with sandy prayers. As long as you intended purity, it's fine insha'Allah. Don't stress too much.

Bro, next time just shake the sand off your feet a bit before sujood. I do that when praying at the beach.

Seems like you overthought it. If the jacket was clean and you made sincere effort, your salah is valid. Focus on khushu' more than these details.

Toes need contact with the praying surface. But mate, you did your best in a tricky spot. Allah knows your intention.
