A woman wearing gloves and socks in ihram out of ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A woman entered the state of ihram while wearing gloves and socks out of her own ignorance. He says: What is obligatory for her?

Answer:
She owes nothing. A woman is not permitted to wear gloves—she does not wear them—and not the burqu' (face veil). I have forbidden the niqab (face veil), the burqu', and only the gloves, because they are sewn for her. If she wore them out of ignorance and removed them when she learned the ruling, there is no blame on her. But if she did so intentionally, knowing the ruling, she must pay the fidyah (ransom payment): either fast for three days, feed six poor people, or slaughter a sheep in Makkah. Yes.
