Scholars have differed regarding the permissibility for a woman to uncover her face in front of non-mahram men when there is no fear of temptation. However, the fatwa adopted by us is that it is not permissible and that a woman must cover her entire body. We advise adhering to the hijab and covering the face, exercising patience, and seeking assistance from Allah Almighty. It should be known that inviting to Allah is done with knowledge and wisdom, and it has multiple means, including seeking assistance from Allah, being kind to the one being invited, persistent supplication for them, and not rushing for results.
