Is it permissible to prostrate while wearing a cap that prevents the forehead from touching the ground?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When I am wearing a turban or a cap, am I required to remove it from my forehead during prostration, or should I pray with it on so that my forehead does not touch the ground? Is my prayer valid?

Answer:
Your prayer is valid, but it is better to place your forehead directly on the ground. If you prostrate on the turban or on a mat, there is nothing wrong with that.
