The Limits of Fitnah in Revealing the Face

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who permit a woman to reveal her face say that this is prohibited if there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) or if fitnah results from it. What are the limits of this fitnah?

The Shaykh:
This is what we demand of them. They say that it is permissible to break the face, provided that no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) occurs. We demand of them: what is the limit of the fitnah you believe in?

The questioner:
And the firmness that we mention.

The Shaykh:
He spoke about it.

The questioner:
Exactly.

The Shaykh:
There is no limit; fitnah is expected. Fitnah is expected, and a woman is a source of fitnah and a 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) no matter who she is, whether she is old, whether she is beautiful or not beautiful. She is a place of fitnah. Therefore, they objected because hijab (the covering prescribed for women) is for the removal of fitnah, and fitnah is not safe from. Therefore, hijab is required. Yes.
