A Woman Praying in the Sacred Precinct Wearing a Niqab and Gloves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister Muram says: Shaykh, I saw a woman in the Haram praying while wearing a niqab and gloves last Ramadan, and I advised her, but she did not pay any attention to me. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. She covers herself, and if the niqab covers the face and only the eyes are visible, then there is no adornment in it, so there is no harm. Likewise, the gloves, which are what is worn on the hands, do not constitute adornment for her. Yes.
