The questioner:
Yes, peace be upon you. If the woman in ihram wears the niqab and wears a covering over the niqab that conceals her eyes, is there any harm, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible.
The questioner:
Her eyes are not visible, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
No, no, she must not wear the niqab.
The questioner:
Even if it is covered.
The Shaykh:
She covers her face with something other than the niqab, and praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
I mean, even if the niqab is covered.
The Shaykh:
Out of scrupulousness.
