The Shaykh : The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) have differed on the permissibility of uncovering the hands in prayer for women. Some said that it is necessary to cover them, while others granted a dispensation to uncover them. The precaution is that the woman should not uncover them, but rather pray with gloves on her hands, or wear a loose garment that allows her to cover her hands with it.
