Should a woman in ihram uncover her face during tawaf, or cover it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Regarding a woman in ihram who wants to perform tawaf around the House, what is obligatory for her: to uncover her face or to cover it?

The Shaykh : She must cover her face, just as the women of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to cover their faces when men passed by them.
And the woman does not wear a veilولا تنتقم المرأة
meaning the woman in ihram. Yes.
