Bismillah

Al-Jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


All the Imaams are unanimous that it is compulsory for women to cover the face in the presence of strangers of when leaving the home in the present day and age where Fitnah is rife and apprehended.


And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
