Removing the Niqab After Wearing It

Question
Is it permissible to remove the niqab after wearing it?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Covering the face is recommended if there is no temptation in uncovering it. It is permissible to remove it if she sees that it is in her best interest not to wear it, and there is no temptation in uncovering her face. However, it is preferable for her to remain wearing it. And God knows best.
