What is the response to one who says, "I uncover my face because I follow one of the schools of jurisprudence"?

Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if I advise a woman who uncovers her face and she tells me that she follows one of the schools of jurisprudence, what should I say to her?

Answer : You should tell her that there are many schools of jurisprudence, and the reference is to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Book and the Sunnah indicate that covering the face is obligatory. So this woman, even if she does not find guidance, is not the first to do so. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
