وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
سؤال جميل وتنبيه سديد It should not be misunderstood from this that Subay‘ah (may Allah be pleased with her) left her home without proper covering, or that Abu As-Sanabil saw her uncovered outside her home. The narration only mentions that he entered her home. There is also no mention that she uncovered her face in front of him inside her house. Sheikh Yahya explains (https://t.me/madrasatuna/6093) that Abu As-Sanabil seeing her “well-presented” does not mean that she uncovered her face for him. “Being well-presented” could refer to her normal appearance and clothing, indicating that she was no longer in mourning, not that she was uncovered in front of him. There is no clear evidence that he saw her face uncovered, and any appearance he saw could have been indirect or unintentional. Women at that time generally covered their faces in front of non-mahram men and only uncovered in front of close family or other women. Based on this, such reports do not clearly show women deliberately uncovering their faces in front of unrelated men. In short, this narration does not prove that a woman may uncover her face in front of non-mahram men.
