Question:
The question was asked regarding the ruling on a woman wearing the niqab (face veil)?
Answer:
A woman wears what covers her face, what covers her face, and she does not leave part of her face exposed and part of it covered by the niqab or otherwise; she covers her entire face. This is what is obligatory for her. However, if she is among those accustomed to wearing the niqab that covers only the eyes or one eye, and if this is the custom of her community, where they wear this and only one eye or both eyes are visible from her, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
