Prohibitions of Ihram for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Perhaps we can continue our discussion about this noble, blessed 'Umrah, and whether a woman is like a man regarding the prohibitions of ihram?
Answer:
Yes, a woman is like a man regarding the prohibitions, because it is forbidden for her to use perfume, it is forbidden for her to trim her nails, it is forbidden for her to remove hair, it is forbidden for her to hunt, and she is in a state of ihram, so it is forbidden for her to have sexual pleasure with her husband or engage in intercourse,[Al-Baqarah 2:197], and it is also forbidden for her to cover her face with a burqu' or niqab; she removes the burqu' or niqab. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A woman in ihram does not wear a niqab," and she covers her face with a shaylah or a khimar.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when men passed by us, one of us would lower her khimar from her head over her face, and when they had passed, we would uncover it." Likewise, a woman in ihram avoids wearing gloves on her hands. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "And she does not wear gloves, which are the fringes of the hands." So a woman in ihram does not wear anything on her palms, but she covers her palms with her garment or her abaya from men who are not her mahrams. Yes.

so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj
