A woman covering her hands with gloves when going out
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The issue is whether it is permissible for a woman to cover her hands or forearms when she wants to go out of the house, or is it obligatory for her to wear the same gloves?
The Shaykh:
If she wants to go out of the house, we say that her awrah (part of the body that must be covered) with regard to the gaze of men is her entire body; nothing of her should be looked at. Her awrah with regard to the gaze of men is her entire body, so nothing of her should be exposed, because if any part of her is exposed, it becomes a place of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
The questioner:
The issue of the wall and the ruling on the addition.
The Shaykh:
If she covers them with gloves, the objective is achieved. She may cover them with a garment, an abaya, or gloves, or cover them in some other way. Yes.
