The reason for prohibiting the burqu' and niqab in ihram

Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you and bless you. This is a question that came to the program: Is the reason for prohibiting the burqu' and niqab in ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah because it is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for men, or is the prohibition mentioned in the Sunnah? Please give us a ruling, may Allah preserve you.

Answer:
A woman in ihram covers her face from men; she covers her face from men with the jilbab (the outer garment) or by letting the end of what is on her head fall over her face. She does not leave her face uncovered in the presence of men, especially since she is in a state of ihram in worship. She must cover herself and stay away from exposing herself and anything that involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes. And he asks about the reason for that.
The reason for that is that a woman's face is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) that she covers from men. It came in a hadith its chain is weak. It states that 'Aishah said: "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a state of ihram. When men passed by us, we would let the ends of our khimar (the head covering) fall from our heads over our faces. When they had passed us, we would uncover them." Yes.
