Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When a woman enters the state of ihram, is it permissible for her to cover her face from men by turning her niqab around and placing it at the back?
Answer:
No, the niqab is not worn, neither under the khimar nor on its own. A woman in ihram does not wear the niqab. However, she covers her face with something other than the niqab and other than the burqu' (face veil), using the khimar or a garment, when there is a need. She covers it when there is a need.
