A woman uncovering her face in buying and selling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And regarding the ruling for a woman in buying and selling, is it necessary for her to uncover her face or not?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory. She can sell and buy while covered, praise be to Allah, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner:
I mean, in Islam, if a woman buys something from a seller, and the seller knows her face, is it obligatory that he knows her face?
The Shaykh:
If it becomes a credit transaction and he does not know her voice, some do not permit him to know her face so that he can settle the account with her later by her face. But if she is known, or the witnesses know her, there is no need for her to uncover her face.
The questioner:
The woman, O Shaykh, who bathes and uncovers for the cell.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is before the hijab, yes.
