What is the ruling on gloves in 'Umrah and Hajj, and is there a specific garment for a woman?

Question : Shaykh Muhammad, this questioner says: What about gloves in 'Umrah, and is there a specific garment for 'Umrah?

Answer : Wearing gloves in 'Umrah and in Hajj is not permissible for a woman, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it. As for clothing, she may wear whatever she wishes; there is no specific garment. However, she must not wear adornment that makes her appear attractive to people, because it is not permissible for any woman in 'Umrah or Hajj, or outside of Hajj and 'Umrah, to wear beautiful clothes.
