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

Men and Women Pray in the Same Manner
Shaykh ibn Baz rahimahullah said:
"...the correct view is that there is no difference between a man and a woman as far as performance of Salah is concerned. There is no evidence to support the views held by some scholars that a woman's manner of performing Salah differs from that of a man's. The Hadith which you mentioned in the question which reads:

This (the above guidance) applies when the coercion is unjust.
As for coercion that is just, such as when a judge forces the husband into divorcing, for instance when a husband is unjust to his wife and harms her, and reconciliation has failed, and she brings the matter to the judge, who then compels him to divorce her—this type of coercion does not prevent the divorce from taking effect. The scholars call this…
Divorce in the Case of Coercion
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili ḥafidhahullāh mentions:
"Coercion occurs when a man is compelled to divorce by means of a threat that is unbearable, such as killing, severe beating, harming a relative, or harming an innocent person.

UNITY upon the truth is an OBLIGATION:
{وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا}
“Hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided.” [Āl ʿImrān: 103]
DISUNITY, on the other hand, is FORBIDDEN—it leads to WEAKNESS and FAILURE:

The rulings in Islam are not strict upon women—where, indeed, is the severity? On the contrary, there is leniency in many aspects. For example, when a woman…
What should you do if someone brings you gossip (namīmah)?
Imām An-Nawawi raḥimahullāh states:
If someone brings you gossip and says, “So-and-so said this about you,” then you must do six things:
1⃣. Do not believe them, because a person who carries gossip is sinful, and his words are not trustworthy.
2⃣. Advise them and tell them to stop, and explain that what they are doing is wrong.
3⃣. Hate their action for…
Ruling on Women Praying in Congregation
Sheikh ibn Baz rahimahullah said (paraphrasing): Prayer in congregation is an obligation specific to men. If women gather in a place, it is not obligatory for them to pray in congregation, rather each one can pray alone and there is nothing wrong with that. But if they pray in congregation and one of them leads them, this is fine. The woman who is leading them should stand…
