Fatwa #100163 November 2003Pakistan

are the women allowed to cover their faces during the time of umrah and haj if they want to?

Answer

It should be covered in such a manner that the cloth does not touch the face. This can be achieved by wearing a hat with a shade (e.g. baseball cap), and then hanging a cloth over this.
