The preponderant opinion is that it is obligatory for an adult woman to cover her face and hands. The sister who does not wear full should be addressed gently and calmly, and her words should be interpreted in the best possible light, as she may not intend to mock Allah's rulings, especially since some scholars do not consider covering the face and hands obligatory.
