The answer

Covering a woman's face is obligatory, based on the Almighty's saying: "O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments." If uncovering the face is not acceptable at work, then moving to a place where leaving the niqab is not mandated becomes obligatory. There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. Exaggerated kindness and closeness to parents and doing good to them is obligatory, even if they refuse it, as the Almighty said: "But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness."
