What is the ruling on a woman showing her palm if the abaya's sleeve covers most or half of the palm, or by wearing gloves that show only the fingers or half of them?

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.
