(1)If there is not a possibility of “fitna” ,a woman may not cover her face.is it allowed? (2)Can I wear lipstick during job(in school)?

Question

As I teach in a school where there is co-education & also few male teachers.I cover my entire body including face when I go out from home but in school premises ,I do not cover my face.is it ok?

Answer

1. Since there are a few male teachers at the school, you may not open your face at school. When you are in a room where there are no adult males, or
boys close to adulthood, then you may open your face.

2. Lipstick may not be used for attending school.
