Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a group of women, may Allah grant them success, are keen to attend these lessons, but some of them uncover their face during the lesson. Is this permissible?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Uncovering the face is a sin. It is not permissible because the woman is commanded to cover herself, unless there are no men present among the women and no men are around her, in which case there is no harm. However, if there are men present, or if men pass by and see her with her face uncovered, this is not permissible. The face is the greatest adornment of the woman. The face is the greatest adornment of the woman. It is obligatory for her to cover her face. Yes.
