[quote]Actually, the answer to most of your questions is given in the Modules of this course. I hope you will go through the Modules and see what point of view is asserted on the basis of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah.

I will however briefly answer your question.

About covering the face

We need to appreciate that Allah has exempted face, hands and feet in case of women, that is to say, they have been allowed to keep open these parts of their body anyhow.

While commanding the women to conceal their Zeenat (ornaments), Allah has allowed them that they may reveal their Zeenat which is worn on body parts that are normally revealed. In other words, women are commanded to cover their ornamnets except for that which are worn on body parts that are naturally kept uncovered. Obviously, what is normally and naturally kept uncovered is hands, feet and face. Therefore, Muslim ladies are allowed to keep their face uncovered. I quote the words of the Qur'an:

And tell the believing women to restrain their eyes and to guard their private parts and not to display their ornaments save those [which are worn on limbs and] which are normally revealed and to draw their coverings over their bosoms. (Surah Noor, 24:31)

About head covering, I would like to tell you that the Holy Qur'an has not said anything.[/quote]
