Islamic Questions & Answers
Is it permissible for a woman to wear the burqa' (a
kind of face veil) when in ihraam? My family wore it
and when they came back from Hajj they were told that
their Hajj was not acceptable, because they wore the
burqa'.
Praise be to Allaah.
Wearing the burqa' is not permissible for a woman in
ihraam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "Women should not wear
niqaab or gloves." Narrated by al-Bukhaari. But there
is no sin on a woman who wears the burqa' in ihraam
because she is unaware of the prohibition, and her
Hajj is valid.
And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send
blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his
family and companions. End quote.

Is it correct for women when kissing the Black
Stone to uncover their faces even though there are men
around them?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Kissing the Black Stone during tawaaf is one of the
established Sunnahs of tawaaf, if it is possible to do
it without pushing and shoving or annoying anyone else
by your action, following the example of the Messenger
of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
If it is not possible to do it except by pushing and
shoving and annoying others, then one should not do
it, and it is sufficient to point to it with one's
hand, especially for women, because the woman is
‘awrah and because pushing and shoving is not allowed
for men, so it is even less so for women. If it is
possible for a woman for kiss the Black Stone without
pushing and shoving, it is not permissible to her to
uncover her face whilst doing so, because of the
presence of men who are not mahrams for her in that
place.
And Allah is the source of strength. May Allaah send
blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his
family and companions. End quote.
