Covering the Face When Going Out During the Waiting Period
A sister says that her husband passed away three months ago, and she has a heart condition that does not allow her to wear the niqab when going out of the house during the waiting period. What is required of her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not required for her to wear the niqab during the waiting period if she goes out, but it is not permissible for her to go out without necessity, and God knows best.
