The ruling on a woman reciting the Qur'an while her head, face, and hands are uncovered

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In another question, she asks: When a woman recites the Noble Qur'an from the Noble Mushaf, is it obligatory for her to wear the Shari'ah-prescribed hijab, or is that not a condition, and she may read from the Mushaf in whatever state she is in?

Answer:
If she is in the absence of non-mahram men, she may recite the Qur'an, even if her head, face, hands, or feet are uncovered. However, if there are men present who are not her mahram, it is obligatory for her to veil herself and cover her body from the men. Yes.
