Did the scholars agree on the obligation of a woman covering her face in the presence of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)?

The questioner : Shaykh, is this statement established that the scholars agreed that when there is no safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is obligatory for a woman to cover her face?

The Shaykh : It is obligatory when there is safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner : Did the scholars agree on that, covering the face?

The Shaykh : On what?

The questioner : Did they agree on that, on covering the woman's face?

The Shaykh : Do you mean even when there is safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : No, when there is safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), even then.

The questioner : Even when there is safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)? Yes, yes, even when there is safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes, no, Shaykh, excuse me, when there is no safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), the scholars agreed on covering the woman's face.

The Shaykh : Even when there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), even when there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), because if there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is supposed that there is consensus.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : If there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner : If there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The Shaykh : But even if there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), did the scholars agree on covering the woman's face? Isn't that your question? Even if there is safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)?

The questioner : No, they did not agree.

The Shaykh : Your question, what is your question?

The questioner : My question is: Did the scholars agree that when there is no safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is obligatory for a woman to cover her face?

The Shaykh : My brother, in the case of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), say it.

The questioner : In the case of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), okay, correct, correct.

The Shaykh : A time, now, for example, Zaman, fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), Zaman, no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner : No fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The Shaykh : Okay, so your question now, if we assume that a time is a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Does your question apply now?

The questioner : Yes, did the scholars agree on that?

The Shaykh : On the woman covering her face in a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner : In a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The Shaykh : Is that your question?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Okay, you repeated "no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)" more than once.

The questioner : Perhaps.

The Shaykh : The important thing is, no, the issue now is not an accounting.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : But rather, so that we understand your question.

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh : So now, specify the question?

The questioner : This is the question.

The Shaykh : A time, this, for example, is a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : So did the scholars agree on the obligation of a woman covering her face in this time which is a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)? Isn't that the question?

The questioner : This is it, yes.

The Shaykh : The answer is no, but what can be said is that they agreed on this: any woman, any woman who sees herself in a position where she may be a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is obligatory for her to cover her face.

The questioner : The woman's person is not general.
