Question : The questioner says: In this question, is it permissible for a woman to pray while wearing gloves on her hands?

Answer : Yes. It is permissible for a woman to pray while wearing gloves on her hands. If she is not wearing gloves on her hands, the prescribed practice is to cover her hands with the end of her garment, because many scholars say that a woman’s palms are an awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in prayer.
