The Ruling of Praying in Gloves for Men

Question: During the winter, when we experience extreme coldness in our hands, is it permissible for me to wear woolen gloves on my hands and pray wearing them. By doing this, does this nullify doing Sujood on the seven bones, from them are the hands?

Answer: There is no harm in this. It is like one wearing socks on his feet, so there is no harm in this, all Praises are for Allaah. If you wore gloves on your hands so that they stay warm or you wrapped your hands in your Ghutrah or Shemagh (different types of head scarves worn by men) or the likes, or you wrapped your hands in your Bisht (overcoat) and then your prostrated in this scenario, then there is no problem with this as the matter is broad. All Praises are for Allaah, the Companions [May Alaah be Pleased with them and they Pleased with him], when the weather got intense with heat, they used to prostrate on their clothes (that they were wearing).
