Will wearing the niqab hinder a female student's work and study?
Covering the face is obligatory according to the more preponderant opinion, and you must adhere to it and not pay attention to the misgivings that hinder obtaining a job. Allah Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect."
If you do not find work, do not compromise your religion for the sake of this world, for religion is the capital.
However, if you find it necessary to remove the niqab for the sake of work, then necessities permit prohibitions, provided that the necessity is truly present and not exceeded.
