Question:
A woman uncovering her face before a man who has no desire?

Answer:
This is like what the Qur'an clarified: the man who is not truly a man.
Q: Meaning, there is no harm in her uncovering her face to him?
A: This is called "ghayr uli al-irbah," meaning he is not one of those who desire women, so it is not obligatory for her to veil herself from him:
or those male attendants having no physical desireأَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ
[Surat al-Nur: 31].
Q: What is meant by "al-ta'ibin" (those who follow)?
A: One in whom there is what is known as desire toward women.
Q: Is he the simpleton...?
A: The one who has no desire, who does not lust after women.
Q: Ibn Kathir says: ...?
A: No, it is "ghayr uli al-irbah"; al-irbah means desire.
