Washing Hands Over Clothes in Ablution

Question
Is it permissible to wash the hands in ablution over the clothes in such a way that the water reaches the hands completely without rolling up the sleeves?
Answer
I say, and with God's success, the ablution is valid if water reaches the obligatory parts, including the hands with the elbows, even if it is over the clothes; because the washing of the member is genuinely fulfilled. The arrival of water is a condition, while uncovering is not. And God knows best.
