Is it permissible for a woman in ihram to wear something resembling a sock on her hands?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Can a woman wear something like a sock on her hand, or is it considered like a shoe?

The Shaykh : If it is made in the shape of a glove, it is not permissible. However, if it is a bag into which the hand is inserted, it appears there is no harm in it, because this is not wearing a garment that covers the body.

The questioner : And if the bag is made for this purpose.

The Shaykh : Meaning that women wear it in this manner.

The questioner : They do not wear it, but in Hajj it becomes difficult to conceal the hand by wearing the abaya they are currently wearing. They use this bag so that even if the hand comes out, it is not visible to the men.

The Shaykh : It appears that this is covering and not wearing, and there is no harm in it.
