Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is not permissible to prostrate on tissue paper (like Kleenex) unless it is confirmed that it is made from materials that are permissible for prostration. It is permissible to prostrate on paper if it is known to be made from materials that are allowed for prostration, such as cotton or linen, but it is not permissible if there is doubt.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If tissues are considered as paper (which is what one writes on), it is permissible to prostrate on them if they are made from wood or plants other than cotton or linen.
This applies to common tissue papers, and it is permissible to prostrate on them.
