The narration of “Do not cover his face” in the hadith of the person in ihram whose mount gored him

Question:
He asks: How is the narration in Muslim’s hadith about the man whose mount fell on him, and the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “Do not cover his face,” to be answered, given what is established in the school of jurisprudence? In other words, he was asking about covering the face for the one in ihram?

Answer:
The well-known view among the scholars is “Do not cover his head,” whereas the narration “Do not cover his face and his head” is considered by them to be an anomalous narration. Yes, the practice is based on the prohibition of covering the head, following the narration “Do not cover his head.” This is the ruling upon which the practice is based. Yes.
