Is it permissible for a woman in a state of ihram to wear the niqab inside out?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman in a state of ihram for Hajj or Umrah is forbidden from covering her face with a niqab or burqa. If she needs to cover her face due to the presence of non-mahram men, she should draw her garment down over her face, without using a niqab or burqa.
