Is wearing gloves for a woman part of the perfection of her covering?

The questioner : The questioner says: What is the ruling on wearing gloves, knowing that it has become widespread among women that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and a beautification of the hand, but the reason for the matter.

The Shaykh : And what?

The questioner : But it has become widespread among women that it is a bid'ah and a beautification of the hand, but I heard a hadith from 'A'ishah, the meaning of which is that she said: We used to wear gloves over our sleeves, and when we entered the state of ihram, we would take them off.

The Shaykh : Wearing gloves for a woman is part of the perfection of covering and hijab, and the women in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wear them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding a woman when she enters the state of ihram: She does not wear a niqab. This is evidence that the niqab and wearing gloves were customary among women, because if they had not been customary, there would have been no benefit in prohibiting them during the state of ihram. The conclusion is that it is permissible for a woman to wear gloves, and there is no harm in it. I used to not like women to wear them because it would be a form of showing off, but since wearing them has become widespread among women, I say that women should wear them because it is part of the perfection of hijab and covering. However, in the state of ihram, she does not wear a niqab and does not wear gloves. The niqab means that the woman covers her face and opens only what she needs to see with her eyes, to the extent of necessity.
