What a woman wears while in the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does a woman wear when she intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah?


Answer:
At the time of entering ihram, she covers her face without a niqab, with a khimar as is customary in Muslim markets. Yes, the khimar is sufficient, and there is no need for a niqab. The niqab is not permissible, until she exits her ihram. Likewise, she covers her hands without gloves; she does not wear gloves, nor a niqab, while in the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah, until she exits it. This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the woman in ihram:
must not be veiled or wear glovesلا تنتقب، ولا تلبس القفازين
Sunan Abi Dawud 1826Sahih (Al-Albani)
