Am I sinful for uncovering my face in my country in compliance with my husband's order due to his severe suffering?

If the harm does not reach the body or wealth, it is not permissible to unveil the face, and one must be patient with the harm caused by fools. However, if the harm reaches the point of afflicting the husband in his body or wealth, then it is permissible to unveil the face to the extent that repels the harm. It is obligatory to remain at home and not go out except for necessity or dire need.
