The answer

Allah commanded women to cover themselves and encouraged them to do so. The more a woman adheres to this principle, the more fully she achieves it, the more complete her reward and the greater her recompense. Scholars differed regarding the obligation of a woman covering her face. Those who held it obligatory consider a woman who uncovers her face to be sinful, while those who deemed it recommended believe that a woman who covers her face receives a more complete reward. As for the niqab that reveals the eyes and a part of the cheek and causes temptation, it is not permissible. We advise keenness to cover the face from the sight of non- men, as this is better in this world and the Hereafter.
