Have you issued a ruling on the permissibility of a woman uncovering her face if she is outside Saudi Arabia?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Have you, Your Eminence, issued a ruling on the permissibility of a woman uncovering her face while traveling or in her own country, outside of Saudi Arabia?

Answer:
No, if Allah wills, I do not issue such a ruling. A Muslim woman is to cover herself in any place, because she is a Muslim who holds fast to her religion in any place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fear Allah wherever you are." Indeed, the fear of Allah is the covering for the Muslim woman. Yes. You, Hassan. Allah the Exalted.
