A woman reading the Qur'an while not wearing a hijab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to read the Qur'an while not wearing a hijab?

Answer:
If no one is present, there is no impediment. There is no impediment if there are no non-mahram men present; she may read the Qur'an with her head and face uncovered, and there is no impediment.
