Ruling on a woman in ihram wearing gloves or leather socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister is asking about the ruling on wearing socks for one who intends to perform Hajj and 'Umrah?
Answer:
Wearing socks on the feet is permissible. A woman may wear leather socks or woolen socks in Hajj and 'Umrah, and in other states as well; there is nothing wrong with that. As for socks on the hands—and they are called gloves—she must leave them off during Hajj and 'Umrah, during the state of ihram; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): meaning: the woman in ihram, if she enters ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah; then she does not wear gloves on her hands. Likewise, the man does not wear gloves, but it is permissible for her—because they are 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered)—to wear leather socks, or woolen socks, on her feet.
As for the man, he does not have that permission; rather, he wears sandals. But if he loses his sandals and does not find sandals; it is permissible for him to wear leather socks, as in the authentic hadith in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified in his sermon at 'Arafah, saying:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5325Sahih (Darussalam) meaning men. As for the woman, there is no blame on her in wearing leather socks absolutely.
As for gloves, she does not wear gloves, neither the woman nor the man. But she covers her hands with her abaya, her coat, her jilbab, or something else, without gloves. Yes.

ولا تلبس القفازينAs for the man, he does not have that permission; rather, he wears sandals.

Whoever cannot find an Izar (waist wrapper), let him wear trousers, and whoever cannot find sandals, let him wear Khuffs (leather socks).
من لم يجد إزارًا فليلبس السراويل، ومن لم يجد نعلين فليلبس الخفينAs for gloves, she does not wear gloves, neither the woman nor the man. But she covers her hands with her abaya, her coat, her jilbab, or something else, without gloves. Yes.
