Ruling on a woman in ihram covering her face with a niqab

Question: A woman has weak eyesight and intends to perform Hajj this year. She asks: May I wear a niqab that covers my face so that the eyes are visible, and then place a light, covering veil over it through which I can see the road? Is there any sin on me if I do so? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: There is no harm in that, except if she is in ihram, in which case she is not permitted to do so; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the woman in ihram: End of quote. However, the woman in ihram covers her face with something other than that, as mentioned in the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). And success is from Allah.
