Question:
If a woman lives with or associates with a disbelieving woman due to work or livelihood, is it permissible for her to uncover her head and face in front of her?
Answer:
A woman may uncover her face, head, and hands in front of women, whether they are disbelievers or Muslims, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: “or their women.” She may uncover herself in front of a woman absolutely.
