Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You say in another question: A pious girl, who has passed the age of twenty, praise be to Allah, performs all her religious obligations, except that she uncovers her face before her sisters' husbands. This is because she has no desire to marry, as she has had a congenital defect since birth. Is she sinful for doing so?
Answer:
She must repent to Allah for that, because uncovering her face before her sisters' husbands is not permissible. She should feel regret, seek forgiveness, and praise Allah in such a case, unless the defect is in her face. In that case, she is like the general rule, like an old woman who is not desired, and she owes nothing, if Allah wills.
As for if her face is sound and the defect is internal, and the face is sound, then she must repent and seek forgiveness, because she is not allowed to uncover her face. Rather, she must veil herself from her sisters' husbands and from every non-mahram, due to the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in His great Book: [Al-Ahzab: 53] and His saying (Mighty and Majestic): [An-Nur: 31], the verse. The face is among the greatest adornments, indeed it is the most prominent adornment. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.
وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّexcept to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers
وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّThe presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
