Is it permissible to wear a face mask and sunglasses as an alternative to the niqab to cover the face and eyes in a country where wearing the hijab is rare, while ensuring that no part of the face is visible?

The preponderant opinion among jurists is that the face must be covered, and neglecting this is impermissible. Residing in non-Muslim countries entails numerous risks, and whoever cannot adhere to the rituals of their religion is not permitted to travel there, especially a woman, as she may be exposed to temptation. Studying in her own country while preserving her religion is more befitting for her.
