Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a woman to cover her hands in prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for her to cover her hands, and she does not uncover anything except her face in the presence of non-mahram men. As for when she is in the presence of non-mahram men, she covers her entire body, and nothing is an exception.
