The question

Are parents' commands to be obeyed if they become angry about wearing gloves when going out, despite attempts to convince them with wisdom and good counsel, and they remain unconvinced; and is this considered among the ambiguous matters in which they must be obeyed?

The answer

The preponderant opinion is that a woman is obligated to cover her face and hands. This becomes even more emphasized in times of tribulation, and it is not among the ambiguous matters in which obedience to parents is obligatory. Therefore, you must advise your parents, and if they do not respond, then cover your hands and pay no mind to their objection. Obedience to parents is not obligatory if their command stems from foolishness or the pursuit of desires, even in recommended matters, so how about obligatory ones? Gloves are not specifically required to cover the hands; rather, they can be covered by concealing them within the khimar, for example.
