Is it permissible for a niqabi woman working in the printing profession to remove her gloves during work and wear her wedding ring on her left hand, and is this considered forbidden adornment?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Scholars have differed on the permissible adornments a woman may display to non-mahram men, holding two main opinions: The first view is that the entire woman is 'awrah (private parts that must be covered), including her face and hands, and that only the outer garments may be displayed. The second view is that the entire woman is 'awrah except for her face and hands, and thus it is permissible to display a ring and henna. The fatwa issued is that the face and hands are 'awrah and must be covered during work. However, it is permissible to uncover the hands out of necessity, such as for typing, provided no adornment like a ring, bracelet, or henna is worn.
