The Ruling on Hijab and the Response to Those Who Abandon Hijab Claiming the Existence of a Contradiction to Consensus

Question:
May Allah reward you. In another question, some girls say that when we advise them to cover their hands with gloves, with the known gloves, they say that hijab is still a matter of disagreement among scholars and that there is no evidence for it. Some of them say that their hands are not among the adornments of men. Is there a dispensation in this? And is there any evidence? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Hijab is obligatory for the woman by the text of the Book and the Sunnah, and by the statement of the precise scholars of knowledge, both the Salaf and the Khalaf. Hijab includes covering the entire body of the woman from men. And His saying, the Exalted: behind it is a hijab. There is no doubt that what is meant by hijab is what covers the woman completely, covering her entire body, whether by a wall, a garment, a door, or otherwise. As for the claim that there is disagreement regarding hijab as you mentioned, the criterion is not the disagreement; the criterion is the evidence. The evidence has been established for the obligation of covering the entire body of the woman, including the face and the hands, from men who are not mahram. If the evidence is sound, it is obligatory to act upon it and not to look at the statements of scholars that contradict it. Yes.
