Yes, a woman is allowed to show her face in Islam, according to some interpretations.
Here's a breakdown of the differing views based on the provided reference:
-
Permissible Exposure: The reference states, "A muslim woman is allowed to show her face and hand palms only".
-
Choice in Covering: Women who choose to wear a Niqab or Burqa to cover their face do so by choice. The reference clarifies this by stating, "it's totally up to them to hide their face and dress even modestly like so, but it's not mandatory like Hijab".
Therefore, while the Hijab (head covering) might be seen as mandatory by some, covering the face is presented as a personal choice.
