The ruling on a woman covering her face during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: (N. A.) from Jeddah says: Is it obligatory for a woman, when she places the sheet over her head during prayer, to reveal her face? Because they say: Her face must be visible during prayer. Is this correct?
Answer:
There is no harm, but it is better for her entire face to be visible. If no one is present with her, the recommended practice (sunnah) is for her face to be uncovered, if she is in her home or among women, the recommended practice is for her face to be uncovered. However, if she is in the presence of men, she covers her entire face and prostrates on her head covering. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
