The fundamental principle is that a woman should cover her face. It is not permissible for her to go out adorned with makeup or similar embellishments. It is forbidden for her to obtain identity cards or passports with pictures that show her unveiling [her beauty], because necessity is estimated by its measure, and official bodies do not stipulate this. Her family and guardian must prevent her from unveiling [her beauty], and whoever encourages her to do so has betrayed the trust. If she is married, her husband must prevent her from doing so.
