It is forbidden for a woman in ihram to wear gloves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Wearing gloves.

Answer : Wearing gloves, my brothers, is this a general ruling for both men and women, or is it for men only, or for women only? As for the hadith, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The woman does not veil her face, or she does not wear gloves,لا تنتقب المرأة أو لا تلبس القفازين،
Gloves are something for the hand, right? What do we call them here? Badafi or a hand strap? Not our tears. Do not wear gloves, do not veil the face of the woman, and do not wear gloves. So, do we say that it is also forbidden for the man to wear gloves by analogy with the leather socks, because gloves for the hands are in the position of leather socks for the feet? If this were said, it would have a basis. However, the hadith only indicates the prohibition of gloves for the woman only, for the woman only. But adding this to the man is strong, and it is well-known among the scholars, because they say that these gloves are a binding for the hands, so they are for the hands in the position of leather socks for the feet.
