The ruling on a woman in ihram wearing the niqab or gloves, and whether she is required to pay a fidyah if she wears them?

Question:
May Allah reward you and make your knowledge beneficial. The sender, Noura Abdullah, asks: Is it permissible for a woman in ihram to wear the niqab, gloves, and stockings? And is it permissible for her to wear them after exiting the state of ihram? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Wearing the burqu' or the niqab, or gloves, is among the prohibitions of ihram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the woman in ihram from wearing the niqab, meaning covering her face with the niqab, and from wearing gloves. This is among the prohibitions of ihram. If she does so intentionally, she owes a fidyah and she must remove it immediately. She covers her face with something other than the niqab and the burqu', and she covers her hands with something other than gloves, but with her abaya or her garment if she is in the presence of men who are not her mahrams. If she is not in the presence of men who are not her mahrams, she uncovers her face and her hands. Yes.
