What are the implications of the decision to ban the niqab at the main headquarters of the telecommunications company for veiled female employees? Must they request a transfer or remove their niqab? What is the correct stance for employees to take towards management, considering the financial benefits of the main headquarters?

The preponderant opinion is that a woman is obligated to cover her face in front of non-mahram (definition) men, and this is the original ruling. If the female employee cannot work except by uncovering her face, she must leave the job if there is flexibility and choice, for there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. However, if there is a necessity or a severe need for work, such as if she is obligated to provide for herself or for those she supports and they have no one else to support them, then there is no impediment for her to uncover her face to the extent of the necessity or need. It must be noted that this permissibility is conditional on the absence of another job that does not require uncovering the face; otherwise, she must transfer to it. The administration should be gently advised to explain that covering the face is a religious injunction.
