Is it permissible for a woman wearing the niqab to uncover some parts of her body (hair, arms) while wearing the niqab in her home located in a tourist country, looking out from the window onto a street that is often empty, in order to keep an eye on her daughters or converse with her neighbor, knowing that she wears an abaya at night when hanging laundry on the balcony?
Leaving the hijab near a window, balcony, or similar places where a woman might be seen by someone and is unable to quickly don her hijab, is a form of leniency.
