Question:
What is the ruling on a woman covering her hands in prayer? A woman covering her hands in prayer

Answer:
It is obligatory. It is not permissible for any part of her body to be exposed during prayer except her face, provided there are no non-mahram men present. If there are non-mahram men present, she must cover her entire body. However, if she is praying in a place free of men, or if only her mahram men are present, she must cover her entire body except her face.
