Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some women understand from uncovering the face when entering the state of ihram that they uncover it even if they are in the Haram, and even if they are in front of men.
Answer:
No, in front of men she covers her face. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: And this is in the Sacred Mosque and elsewhere; she covers her face from men. If she comes for obedience and worship, how can she contradict what Allah has prescribed for her regarding covering her face from men? Yes.
