Women covering their faces, hands, etc
Question

This is misinformation. It is the shar`ee requirement that women should cover their faces, hands etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
