English translation

2674. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "A man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh! What garments do you command us to wear in Iḥrâm?' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do not wear shirts or pants, or Imâmahs, or burnouses, or Khuffs – except if someone does not have sandals, in which case let him wear Khuffs that come below the ankles. And do not wear any garment that has been touched by (dyed with) saffron or Wars. And women should not cover their faces when in Iḥrâm, or wear gloves.'" (Sahîh)

Arabic text

2673 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا تَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَلْبَسَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ فِي الْإِحْرَامِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَلْبَسُوا الْقَمِيصَ، وَلَا السَّرَاوِيلَاتِ، وَلَا الْعَمَائِمَ، وَلَا الْبَرَانِسَ، وَلَا الْخِفَافَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ نَعْلَانِ فَلْيَلْبَسِ الْخُفَّيْنِ مَا أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ، وَلَا تَلْبَسُوا شَيْئًا مِنَ الثِّيَابِ مَسَّهُ الزَّعْفَرَانُ، وَلَا الْوَرْسُ، وَلَا تَنْتَقِبُ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحَرَامُ، وَلَا تَلْبَسُ الْقُفَّازَيْنِ»

Commentary

"Should not cover their faces": In other words, a woman ought to keep her face bare in the state of Iḥrâm. However, if she encounters unfamiliar men before her, she may pull her mantle over her face. This was the practice of 'Aishah.
