What are the limits of the legitimate Islamic veil (ḥijāb sharʿī) for women, and is a woman's face considered ʿawrah (private parts that must be covered)? Please provide details from the perspective of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah (Sunni Muslims), present the evidence, and elaborate on the veil of the wives of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, especially after reading a book by Shaykh al-Albani which indicates that covering the face is not a prerequisite?
The ruling on covering the face and hands was previously discussed in Fatwa no. 32209, which mentioned the hijab of the Mothers of the Believers. Furthermore, Sheikh Al-Albani's view was presented in Fatwa no. 40529.
