Question :

Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face while performing Umrah (minor Hajj)?



The Answer :

The woman while in a state of Ihram (ritual consecration) is obligated to uncover her face and hands, but at the same time permitted to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her. And Allah Knows Best.
