The question

Is it permissible for a woman to create a YouTube channel to explain certain arts like sewing and knitting for the purpose of earning money, while only showing her hands and palms and using only her voice? Is it sufficient to wear clothes with long sleeves that cover the arms, with only the palms showing, or must gloves be worn? And must the gloves be very loose? Is it permissible for her to work on social media wearing a thawb to explain and answer questions from girls, knowing that most of her followers are girls? And is it permissible to use comedic or singing female voices without music in TikTok videos?

The answer

Scholars have differed regarding the obligation for a woman to cover her face and hands in front of non- men. The preponderant opinion is that it is obligatory. Therefore, if a woman records videos, she must be in complete , including covering her face and hands. If she covers her hands with gloves, they do not need to be extremely loose; rather, the requirement is that they should not be an adornment in themselves. She is also obliged not to speak in a soft or alluring manner. As for using a comedic female voice, a woman singing, or similar sounds that involve speaking in an alluring manner, this is impermissible.
