Is covering the face obligatory for the Muslim girl?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is covering the face obligatory for the Muslim girl? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Covering the face is obligatory for the Muslim girl, and it is even more so for her; because she is in the prime of youth, and the temptation she poses is greater than that of an older woman. Therefore, the Muslim woman must cover her face, her hands, and the rest of her body from men who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry). Yes.
