The ruling on a woman wearing gloves in prayer and her prayer during the crowds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks and says: Is it permissible for a woman to pray while wearing gloves, provided she is not in the state of ihram, especially if she is exposed to being seen by men, even from a distance, such as being in the Sacred Mosque? Then I ask for advice for us women regarding prayer in the Sacred Mosque, particularly during the crowds in the last ten days of Ramadan and during Hajj. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no blame on a woman for wearing gloves in prayer and other times, except if she is in the state of ihram; in that case, she does not wear them. As for if she is not in the state of ihram, there is no barrier to wearing them in prayer and other times. I advise all women that their homes are better for them, and prayer in their homes is better in Makkah, in al-Madinah, and in every place; their homes are better, and it keeps them further from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). If they pray in the mosque, let them strive to cover themselves, keep away from men, and avoid free mixing with them.
And there is no doubt that their prayer in the mosque may be necessitated by a need to hear hadith and sermons. If she comes for this reason, or because she may become lazy at home and not pray the night prayer of Ramadan, so she attends for the sake of energy, all of this is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 And he said: If she is able to pray in her home as it should be, that is better for her. And if her going out to the mosque brings a benefit for hearing knowledge and understanding in the religion, or for energy because she may become lazy about the night prayer of Ramadan, all of this is permissible. Yes.
