The ruling on assuming Ihram while wearing Socks and Gloves

Question :

What is the ruling on assuming Thram while wearing socks and gloves, and what is the evidence for that?

Answer:

It is not permissible for the man to assume Ihram wearing cloth socks or leather socks except if he cannot find two sandals. This is due to the Prophet's statement:
"And whoever does not find two sandals, then let him wear twp leather socks, and whoever cannot find a lower waist garment, then let him wear pants."

This Hadith's authenticity is agreed upon. In reference to the woman, there is no problem with her wearing leather socks and cloth socks while in Ihram, because she is Awrah (that which should be concealed) and wearing them is more concealing for her. If she lets her garments hang low so that they cover her feet, then that is fine, and it suffices without her having to wear cloth socks and leather socks in prayer and at other times. In reference to gloves, neither the man nor the woman may wear them while being in Ihram. This is due to the Prophet's statement concerning the woman in Ihram:
"The woman should not wear the Niqab nor should she wear the two gloves."

This was recorded by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih. If this is forbidden for the woman, it is even more forbidden for the men. For this reason the Prophet said concerning the man who died while in Ihram:
"Wash him with water and Sidr, and shroud him in his two garments. Do not apply Hunut to him, and do not cover his head and face. For verily, he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection saying the Talbiyyah."

This Hadith's authenticity is agreed upon and the wording here is that of Muslim. Hunut (in the Hadith) means perfume. The woman who is in Ihram must cover her face with a headscarf or something similar to it in place of the Niqab (face veil) when she is around men. This is due to what was reported from 'A'ishah that she said:
"The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when they came to where we were, (each) one of us would lower her overgarment (Jilbab) from her head over her face. Then, when they passed us, we would uncover it (the face)."

This was recorded by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah, and Ad- Daraqutni recorded a similar Hadith from Umm Salamah.
