A woman covering her hands with gloves when going out

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When a woman appears in public or goes out to the market, is it obligatory for her to wear gloves, or is the obligation only to cover her hands?

Answer:
Covering the hands is done either with gloves, or with the garment, or with the abaya. The important thing is that she covers her palms and the backs of her feet, so that nothing of them is visible.
