What is the ruling on praying while a woman is wearing gloves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on praying while a woman is wearing gloves?

Answer:
There is no harm in praying while wearing gloves, and this is more concealing for her, or with her jilbab (outer garment) that she is wearing, or otherwise. This is better, and nothing remains exposed except the face; this is better. And if she exposes the two hands, that is valid according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. And all of this is if she is in a place where there is no non-mahram (foreign man).
As for if there is a man who is not a mahram (close relative) to her, then she covers the entire body, even the face, while she is in prayer.
