What is the ruling on a woman uncovering her face in the Haram?

Question:
The questioner says: I notice inside the Haram, and behind the men, women sitting with their faces uncovered, which causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). We ask you to guide them.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to uncover her face in the presence of men, whether in the Haram or elsewhere. However, it is more severe in the Haram because a sin in the Haram is more severe than a sin elsewhere. So women should fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic), cover themselves, and cover their faces and their points of attraction if they desire reward and recompense. As for those who desire sin, who come to show off and display their adornment and their clothes to people, they did not come for the reward; rather, they came to be seen. We ask Allah for safety. So the woman should fear Allah, and you should convey this to those in charge of the affairs of the Holy Mosque regarding these women and their location, so that they compel them to abide by the ruling of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
