What is permissible regarding uncovering the face: how is that done, and what is the ruling on covering the feet?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah forgive you. As for the one who cannot bear to uncover the face, and it necessitates... leaving the feet uncovered, is this with thought and consideration, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : "Shiddat" is not the standard plural, unless you intend "shiddah" and its plural is "shiddat." In any case, fine, I agree with my brother Salim that, glory be to Allah, how can it be conceivable that we tell a woman, "Uncover this beautiful, attractive face, and cover the feet?" If I saw the ugly feet... and we said, "Cover them?" And this beautiful face, which is like the full moon, "Uncover it." Who says this? I mean, is it possible for the Shari'ah to come with this? By Allah, it does not come with it; it does not come with it. Their greatest reliance is on a weak hadith or on the opinion of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him).

Is this conceivable? First: the hadith is weak in its chain and has a break in it. Second: is it conceivable that Asma' bint Abi Bakr
