What is the ruling on a man wearing gloves during prayer, and what is its evidence?

Wearing gloves during prayer is permissible, and the prayer performed with them is valid according to the majority of scholars. However, it is better to place the palms directly on the ground when there is no need (for gloves). A person should not strongly condemn someone who does this, because the issue is subject to scholarly disagreement, and the view of permissibility is held by the majority.
