Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 614/614/SD=07/1437)

It is makrooh to offer salah in such a place.

وأن يكون فوق رأسه أو بين يديه أو بحذائه همنة أو يسرة أو محل سجوده (تمثال)... (الدر المختار. باب ما يفسد الصلاة وما يكره فيها).

Don’t miss salah in case there is no other place due to compulsion and offer there.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
