What is the interpretation of the verse of the jilbab, and what is the refutation against those who weaken the narration of Ibn Abbas in its interpretation and argue that the verse of the jilbab is not for covering the face?

The exegetes (scholars of Quranic exegesis) differed in their interpretation of the verse of the jilbab (Quran 33:59). It was narrated from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that its intent is to cover the entire face except for one eye for seeing. Al-Tabari's narration from Ibn Abbas with this interpretation is weak due to an interruption in the chain of transmission between Ali ibn Abi Talhah and Ibn Abbas, as Ali did not hear from Ibn Abbas. Despite the weakness of the chain, some scholars believe that this narration can be used for corroboration but does not reach the level of حجية (being a conclusive proof), while others consider it authentic because it was taken from a reliable book. The obligation to cover the face is not based solely on this statement; rather, it is supported by other evidences and the practices of the female Companions.
