Is it permissible to pray in front of a natural scene? And if a woman shakes hands with a man while wearing gloves, would she be sinful?
It is not permissible for a woman to shake hands with non-mahram men, even if she is wearing gloves, or even if the handshake is done behind a sleeve or cloak. A handshake is still considered a handshake, even from behind a barrier.
As for praying in front of a natural scene, if it is pictorial and distracts the worshipper's attention, then it is not permissible to pray in front of such an image.
