If the burqa covers the entire face, leaving only the eyes uncovered | Fataawa

Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Humayd (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

If the burqa’ [a kind of face veil] covers the entire face, leaving only the eyes uncovered, there is nothing wrong with that. But if it does not cover the entire face, rather it covers the mouth and leaves the rest of the face uncovered, that is not permissible, especially in the presence of non-mahram men. 

So the entire face must be covered, but the eyes may be left uncovered so that the woman can see where she is going, as was said by Ibn Mas’ood, ‘Ubaydah al-Salmaani and others. And Allaah knows best. 

[Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 1/393, 394]

PS : Hence, this serves as a proof against wearing masks and alikes to cover the face.
