Can women wear this to cover their faces while in the state of ihram?
Sheikh Abu Musa Abdullāh Hableel: لا = no Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari: تحتجب حجاب عادي بدون تكلف "She adheres to a simple, unexaggerated form of covering" Sheikh Kāmil ḥafidhahullāh: في الحديث: ((لا تنتقب المرأة)) وبإمكانها أن تضع على رأسها الخمار حتى لو لامس بشرة الوجه فلا يضر. أما النقاب وما يشابهه فحكمه واحد “In the ḥadīth: 'A woman is not to wear the niqab.' She may place the khimār over her head even if it touches the skin of her face; there is no issue in this. As for the niqab and anything similar to it, their ruling is the same (not allowed while in the state of ihram).”
