Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the country where I live, women are prevented from covering their faces, and the security men stop them. He asks: What is the ruling on her uncovering her face out of necessity?
Answer:
Do not obey them in this, for it is part of the religion of a Muslim woman, so do not obey them in that. As for what happens to her regarding security, I do not think they will pursue her; rather, if there is suspicion or a security breach on her part, they have the right to stop her. Yes.
