Question:
Is there a disagreement among the scholars regarding a woman uncovering her face, or are they in agreement on its prohibition?
Answer:
They are in agreement that if there is a fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) from uncovering her face, it is obligatory for her to cover it. And there is no safety from fitnah for the one who is safe from fitnah? This indicates that they are in agreement that if she fears fitnah, she must cover it, and the fear of fitnah is always and forever expected.
