Is a woman's face 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered)?

Question:
What is your opinion of the one who says this? And why did you not respond to him on these same media channels? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. Some said that it is an 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) and that it is obligatory to cover it from people, and this is the correct opinion. The Shari'ah and the truth are that it is an 'awrah; it is the woman's distinguishing feature and the most prominent indicator of her beauty or her ugliness. This is indicated by the saying of the Exalted: to the hearts of some of them. He, Glorious and Exalted is He, said: "And do not display their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers..." the verse. Others said that it is not part of the adornment and there is no harm in exposing it because she needs to show it. Some argued for this by citing the saying of the Exalted: He said: "What is apparent from it is the face." This is narrated from Ibn 'Abbas and some of the Salaf (the earliest generations). The correct view is that "what is apparent from it" refers to the clothing, as stated by Ibn Mas'ud and a group of other scholars. For this reason, in the other verse, He said: "And do not display their adornment except to their husbands or their fathers," and He did not say "except the face and the hands," but rather He generalized. And in the other verse, He said: He did not say "except the face," but rather "from behind a screen," using a general term. Then He said: "That is purer for your hearts and their hearts." The Exalted stated that the screen is purer for the hearts of everyone, men and women. As for the response, we have written a response, and we have written a response, and others have written as well, and the issue is well known among the scholars. Yes. Habib, Aishah. Aishah in.
The hadith of Aishah regarding is weak and not authentic. It was narrated from Aishah from the hadith of Aishah, from the story of Aishah's sister, that she entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing thin garments, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from her and said, "O Aishah, " Those who hold that the face may be uncovered have cited this as evidence, but it is a weak hadith and is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is disconnected from Aishah, and there is also a weak man in its chain. Sa'id b. Shurayh said, "He is weak and not to be cited as evidence." The one who narrated it from 'Isa did not hear from her, and Khalid b. Daryak did not hear from her and did not meet her, along with a third defect, which is that it is from a tool of his fabrication and concealment of defects. So it has three defects, all of which necessitate its invalidity. Even if it were authentic, it would be a later addition to the text. This is explicit in it. Yes, indeed.
Aishah's hadith regarding al-Rabi' was with them in. They were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He said, "We used to expose our faces, but when he approached the bowing, she would cover her face with a red cloth until he finished. Similarly, her hadith in the story of the slander, she said, "I heard the recitation of the Quran, so I turned red-faced. He used to know me before the hijab. That indicates that after the hijab, they began to cover their faces and conceal them, whereas before the hijab, they used to expose them.
