Is the forbidden covering of the face only in prayer, or outside of prayer?

Question : Yes, salam, may Allah bless you. Their statement, "and his brother has no hair and no garment," does this mean if he is inside the prayer, or does this include if he covers his face outside the prayer, but for the sake of the prayer?

Answer : The apparent ruling covers both cases. As for if they cover their faces outside the prayer, not for the sake of the prayer, there is no harm in remaining as they were.
