Is it obligatory for a woman to wear something like a man's sandal in ihram?

Question : This is a woman calling in on the line with us; she has two questions. She asks: Is it obligatory for a woman to enter ihram wearing two sandals like a man?

Answer : It is not obligatory for her, because it is permissible for a woman to wear socks and leather socks. What is forbidden for her is the painted nails and the gloves. As for everything else, she may wear whatever she wishes of clothing, sandals, socks, and leather socks, provided they are permissible in their original state. Even if she covers the Ka'bah, O Shaykh?
