The answer

The correct opinion among scholars is that it is obligatory for a woman to cover her face and hands in front of non-mahram men, whether or not there is a risk of fitna (temptation). However, if there is a risk of fitna, scholars unanimously agree on the obligation. Women are advised to cover their faces, fulfilling the religious obligation, even if they face harm.
