Uncovering the Rulings on Women Uncovering Their Faces

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And these two commands indicate the permissibility for groups of women to uncover their faces. Is this to be applied by analogy?

Answer:
Who said, who said this, that she uncovers her face?
And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garmentsوَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَن يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ
[An-Nur 24:60]
He did not say that she uncovers her face either. That means she lightens her clothing, she removes the heavy garments, she removes the outer cloaks, she lightens her dress, and it is better for her to remain modest. Yes.
