Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says — or rather, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to perform tawaf while wearing gloves and socks? And is there a difference between the tawaf of 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage)?
Answer:
A woman may perform tawaf while wearing gloves and socks, and this is better and more covering for her, except if she is in ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage), in which case she does not wear gloves. As for the socks, she wears them whether she is in ihram or not, because this is more covering for her. Yes.
