Wearing Gloves and the Niqab by a Woman in Ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you please, I would like to ask about the gloves and the niqab regarding women. Is it obligatory for them to use them? And in the Makkah Haram, in its sense, if you come to perform 'Umrah, is it necessary for her to wear the niqab and take off the gloves?
Answer:
A woman in ihram does not wear the niqab, my brother. She covers her face with the shaylah from the men. She does not wear the niqab while she is in ihram. The woman does not wear the niqab, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, meaning the woman in ihram. But she covers her face with the shaylah, as 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 2690. Yes.

We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in ihram, and when the men passed by us, one of us would lower her khimar from her head over her face, and when they had passed, we would uncover it.
كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم محرمات فإذا مر بنا الرجال سدلت إحدانا خمارهاfrom her head over her face, and when they had passed on we would uncover our faces
