Question: What is the ruling of exposing the face of the woman in a country that the majority of them cover theirs, and is it better to expose the face or cover it? Did Al-Zahraa a.s cover her face? Answer: In the Name of Allah the abundantly Merciful, the intensely Merciful And praise be to Allah the lord of the worlds May Allah send his prayers upon Muhammad and his family the Imams and Mahdies It is permissible for the woman to expose her face, and the Zahraa (May Allah’s prayers be upon her) didn’t cover her face and prophet Muhammad sawas didn’t order his wives to cover their faces. Yes the women in the Arabian peninsula used to cover their faces during travel, it wasn’t for a legitimate reason but rather it was because of the heat of the sun. As for the country or the society in which covering the face is prevalent, then it is better to cover it as a consideration to the prevalent custom but it is not obligatory. Don’t you see the woman during haj exposes her face, if it was obligatory or mustahab, it would have been more intense in obligation and preference while she is in Haj and in a situation of worship and among a large gathering of men. Islam supports giving the woman her complete role, and covering the face is an obstacle in front of many works that the woman could do and be creative in and offer a great service to the society through.
