There is no objection to a woman reading the Qur'an and dhikr without a hijab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. The author of this letter from Syria asks: Is it permissible for a woman to read the Noble Qur'an and the dhikr, whether from memory or from the mushaf, without a hijab?

Answer:
There is no objection to that. The hijab is obligatory only in the presence of men who are not mahram (relatives one may not marry). If there are no men present, or if the men present are her mahram, there is no objection to her reading from the mushaf or reciting the dhikr from a book without a hijab, meaning without covering her face and hands. Yes.
