The ruling on a woman covering her head when reciting the Qur'an in her home

Question:
This questioner, Umm Muhammad from Sudan, says: Honorable Shaykh, is it obligatory for a Muslim woman to cover her head when she recites the Qur'an in her home?

Answer:
It is not obligatory for her to do so, except if there are non-mahram men present with her. In that case, she must cover herself from them, including her head, her face, her hands, and the rest of her body. However, if there are no foreign men present, or if there are only women, or if she is alone, there is nothing wrong with her uncovering her head and reciting the Qur'an. Covering the head is not prescribed for the recitation of the Qur'an. Yes.
