A Woman Praying While Wearing a Niqab and Gloves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, also among the questioner’s questions, says: If a woman prays while wearing the niqab or gloves, does she have to repeat the prayers she has already performed?

Answer:
It is not a condition for the prayer to remove the niqab, nor to remove the gloves. That is in the state of ihram; a woman in ihram does not wear the niqab, and she does not wear gloves while in ihram. As for the prayer, there is no objection to it; in fact, the gloves cover her hands. Yes.
