Forehead being covered while making sajdah

Q: I want to know if a head gear such as a cap or a cloth covers some or most part of the forehead during sajdah position, would the sajdah be valid? 

Similarly, if the sleeves come between floor and the palm thereby covering some part of the hand during the sajdah, would the sajdah be valid?

A: If one's head is firm on the ground, the sajdah will be valid. 

Yes, the sajdah will be valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
