The ruling on a woman uncovering her face during tawaf and sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face in the Sacred Mosque, or during sa'y, or during tawaf?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so. She must observe hijab during tawaf and sa'y, and at all times, if there are non-mahram men around her. However, if there are no non-mahram men present, it is permissible for her to uncover her face. It is better for her to uncover her face during her prayer. But if she is in tawaf or sa'y and there are men present, she must cover herself. This applies in the presence of men, even if it is only one man, based on His saying (Exalted and Majestic is He): [Al-Ahzab: 53] and His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [An-Nur: 31], the verse. The face is among the greatest of adornments. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you 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, and may He do you good.
