Scholars differed on the ruling of covering face and hands as part of a Muslim woman’s dress code or hijab. The majority of them believe that it is compulsory for a Muslim woman to cover the whole of her body without any exception.

 

They based their view on many proofs from the Quran and hadith. They further affirmed that a woman’s face can be a means of attraction which must be covered.

 

Opponents of this view based their opinion on a number of proofs from Quran and Hadith too.

 

If you adhere to a certain view and think that it is prohibited to show your face and hands, you must not uncover it even if your husband or your H.R. asked you to do so. This is more precautious and best for your faith.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
