The Ruling on a Woman's Hijab in Hajj

Question:
The questioner: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a woman's hijab in Hajj?

Answer:
Her covering is prescribed, just as it is for those not in ihram, but without the burqu' and without the niqab. She covers herself with the khimar, the jilbab, and the like, which they call the musaffa'. As for the niqab, no. It is not permissible for a woman in Makkah to wear the niqab or to wear gloves. She does not wear the burqu' if she is from the Bedouin, which is sewn to fit the face or has two holes for the eyes. She does not wear this in ihram, neither in 'Umrah nor in Hajj. But she covers her face with something else.
So 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: And likewise, the hands do not wear gloves, neither for a man nor for a woman. The hands do not have gloves. The gloves are the socks. The woman in ihram does not wear them, and the woman in ihram does not wear them either. As for the feet, there is no harm. She covers the hand with socks, there is no harm. As for the man, no, he does not wear his companion's.
