Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face and hands while praying in the Makkah Haram, provided she is in the women’s section?

Answer:
If men do not see her and she is only in the company of women, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if she is in the presence of men or if men pass by, she must observe hijab in prayer and in other situations.
