The question

Is the family of a veiled woman who is in a coma and residing in a non-Muslim country sinful for not covering her face and the rest of her body, which is exposed to passersby and doctors in the hospital, given that they are only allowed one hour of visitation daily and there is a glass barrier preventing them from approaching her?

The answer

We ask Allah to heal her and to reward her for what she used to do in good health. You must do your best to submit a request to the hospital to cover what does not need to be exposed from the body. If this is not possible, then there is no sin upon you.
