Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks, saying that she resides in Riyadh and her mother is ill with cancer, may Allah protect us and you. This mother lives in Europe. Her question is: Is it obligatory for me to go to my mother, given that she is in a country that forbids the covering of the face for women?
Answer:
She should go to her if she is able to do so. She should go to her; this is part of being dutiful to her. So she should go to her, and they will not force her to uncover her face. There is no country that forces one to uncover the face, ever. This is from the doctrine of the Murji'ah. The disbelievers do not target women who cover their faces. If you cover your face, yes.
