What is the ruling on the prostration of one who wears a large cap that covers his entire forehead?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This man says: Some of the brothers wear a large cap that covers most of the forehead, so what is the ruling on the validity of his prostration?

The Shaykh : His prostration is valid, provided he places his forehead on the ground, but it is better for him to lift it off the forehead, because prostrating on something attached to you is disliked, based on the hadith of Anas ibn Malik, who said:
but when someone amongst us found it hard to place his forehead on the ground, he spread his cloth and prostrated on it. إذا لم يستطع أحدنا أن يمكن جبهته من الأرض بسط ثوبه فسجد عليه
