Covering the face of a woman in ihram in the presence of her mahrams

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to cover her face in the presence of her mahrams while she is in ihram?

Answer:
There is no need for this. How would she cover her face in the presence of her mahrams? There is no need for this. She should not cover her face. However, some jurists say that a woman’s ihram is her face, but this is a view with no evidence for it, and it is of a certain type, but there is no need to cover it in the presence of mahrams or in the presence of women. May Allah reward you. Yes.
