The Ruling on a Woman Uncovering Her Face in Front of Non-Mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In her second and final question, she says: There are hadiths that confirm the permissibility of a woman uncovering her face without adornment. Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face, or must she cover it? Even though there are people who have permitted it. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman to observe hijab in the presence of a non-mahram; because of the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Al-Ahzab: 53]. Therefore, hijab is necessary. However, a woman in the state of ihram does not wear the niqab made for the face, the burqu' or the niqab made for the face, but she covers her face with the khimar and similar general items that hang down over the face.
A woman's face is her adornment, and Allah says: [An-Nur: 31] ... the verse. And the face is the greatest of adornments; so it is obligatory to cover it except in the presence of a mahram in all circumstances. Yes.

Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman to observe hijab in the presence of a non-mahram; because of the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
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 وَقُلُوبِهِنَّA woman's face is her adornment, and Allah says:
not expose their adornment except to their husbands
وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّThe presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
