The Ruling on a Woman's 'Awrah (Part of the Body That Must Be Covered) Before Mahrams and Women, and the Ruling on the Niqab (Face Veil)

Question:
We request clarification on a woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) before mahrams (relatives one may not marry) and before women, and what is the ruling on the niqab (face veil) that women wear in this era, which exposes the eyes in a striking manner?

Answer:
A woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) before women and before mahrams (relatives one may not marry) is what is customary to expose, provided there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). For example, exposing her face, hands, and head is customary and involves no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among women or mahrams (relatives one may not marry). However, exposing her upper arms, forearms, and legs is not permissible, neither among women nor among mahrams (relatives one may not marry), because this involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Because this involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). And it sets a bad example that women follow, leading them to be lax.
As for the niqab (face veil) in a country where it is customary for women to wear the niqab (face veil), there is no harm in that, or the burqu' (face veil). There is no harm in that, on the condition that only the eyes are visible. Nothing of the cheeks or the eye sockets should be visible.
On two conditions: First, that this is the custom of the people of the country. Second, that nothing of the face is visible except to the extent of the eyes only. As for women whose country's custom is to cover the face completely, they should not deviate from this, because this is more complete; this is a complete hijab (covering prescribed for women), so they should not deviate from it. Yes.
