Advice for the one who is content with his wife uncovering her face on the grounds of scholarly disagreement

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some men, may Allah guide them, had wives who used to cover their faces when they went out with them in front of people. Due to a matter in the media, some men became weak in their resolve, thinking it was a matter of scholarly disagreement and that the ruling was broad. So their women began to uncover their faces with their consent. What is your advice in this matter, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
Disagreement does not permit what is forbidden. If there is a disagreement, the evidence is to be followed. Whoever has no evidence must follow the one who has evidence and leave the one who contradicts the evidence. We do not say, "The matter is one of disagreement, and this is permissible because there is disagreement." Disagreement does not permit what is forbidden. Making something lawful or unlawful is based on evidence. Yes.
