Is it permissible for a mentally disabled child to see the face of a woman who covers her face if she uncovers it, and is she required to cover herself in front of him, and is it permissible for her to see his face, and is there a specific age for the mentally disabled at which he is permitted to see a woman's face?
If the child mentioned is an undiscerning boy, you are not required to cover yourself in front of him. However, if he reaches the age of adolescence (approaching 15 years), you must wear the hijab in front of him. There is no sin in looking at his face without lust.
