The answer

The issue of whether the hands and face are awrah (private parts that must be covered) or not is a well-known point of contention. Covering the hands and face is more modest and concealing, especially for a young woman and in times of tribulation. Covering the hands does not necessitate wearing gloves; rather, they can be covered by sleeves or concealed under the head covering.
