A Woman Wearing Gloves and Socks When Going Out

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Other than the takbir, is it obligatory for a woman to wear gloves if she wants to cover herself, and likewise what is on her feet?

Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman to cover herself when going out, including her hands, feet, face, and entire body, whether by wearing gloves and socks or by wearing clothes. The important thing is that she covers her body and extremities with whatever suitable covering she chooses for women. If she uses socks and gloves, there is no harm; they also serve to cover her. Yes.
