Question:
Does a woman remove the hijab from her face after entering the state of ihram, or not?
Answer:
A woman does not remove the hijab from her face in the presence of men, neither in the state of ihram nor otherwise, nor in prayer nor otherwise. If there are men present who are not her mahram (relatives one may not marry), she covers her face. However, she does not wear the burqu' (face veil) or the niqab (face veil); rather, she covers her face with the shaylah (headscarf), the covering, or the garment. This is obligatory for her in the presence of men, whether she is in the state of ihram or not. Yes.
