Does praying with gloves on contradict prostrating on the seven limbs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abdullah Abu Umar from Jordan says: Your Eminence! During the winter days, I feel severe cold in my hands. Is it permissible for me to wear woolen gloves on my hands while praying with them? Does this contradict prostrating on the seven limbs, including the hands?

Answer:
There is no blame on you for that. Even if you wear the gloves just as you wear leather socks on your feet, there is no blame, and praise be to Allah. If you wear gloves on your hands for warmth, or wear them under your head covering, your shemagh, or something else, or under your cloak, and prostrate on them, there is nothing wrong with it. The matter is broad, praise be to Allah. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction) used to prostrate on their clothes when the heat of the ground became intense for them. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence.
