Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for the one in ihram to cover (veil) his face?

Answer:
The correct view is: he does not cover it; because in the authentic hadith regarding the story of the man whose mount trampled him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
and cover neither his head nor his face, for he would be raised on the Day of Resurrection pronouncing Talbiya.وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ وَلَا وَجْهَهُ، فإنَّه يُبْعَثُ يَومَ القِيَامَةِ مُلَبِّيًا
Sahih Muslim 1206f
.
Q: What is reported from Salman that the Messenger used to cover his face?
A: It is narrated from Uthman, but the authentic hadith indicates prohibition.
Q: But from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), what came from the hadith of Salman?
A: I do not know of it; it only came from the hadith of Uthman.
Q: Who did it, meaning?
A: It was from the action of Uthman, yes.
