Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: The jurists say that a woman’s ihram is on her face.
Answer:
That is not correct; this is not correct, and there is no evidence for it. It is not forbidden for a woman to wear sewn clothing except for two things only: the burqu’ or the niqab, or gloves on the hands, because they are sewn for the hands or sewn for the face. As for it being forbidden for her face, there is no evidence for that. Yes.
