Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that she is married to a French Muslim brother, and she wants a marriage certificate to be obtained from the French embassy. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to uncover her face if they ask her to do so at the embassy in order to issue this certificate?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to uncover her face in front of men, but the fingerprint that has become available now serves as a substitute for a facial photograph.
