Is it considered forbidden to expose the hands if there is a medical excuse that prevents wearing gloves that were worn with the intention of permanently covering the palms?

The ruling on covering the hands was previously mentioned. It is not a condition to cover them with gloves; rather, they can be covered with an abaya or other means. So, if gloves cause inflammation, the hands can be covered by any other means. It should be known that covering the hands is only obligatory when a woman appears before non- men.
