A Woman Praying in a Burqa

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to pray in a burqa?

Answer:
It is permissible, because she is allowed to uncover her face in prayer. However, when the pilgrims are present, the barrier is not sufficient, because they can see the whites of her eyes, her cheeks, and part of her face.
