Is it obligatory for a woman to cover her face during prostration of recitation?

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, the questioner on the line asks: Is it obligatory for a woman to cover her face during prostration of recitation?

The Shaykh : No, she does not cover her face. She does not cover her face, neither in prostration of recitation nor in prayer, unless there are men around her who are not her mahram (relatives one may not marry), in which case she must cover her face.

The questioner : Yes, and some people, Shaykh, ask about covering the head during prostration of recitation.

The Shaykh : It appears, if Allah wills, that the matter is broad in this regard, if Allah wills.
