Q: What is the maximum amount of herself that a woman can uncover in the presence of ghair-mahrams?
A: In cases of necessity a female may expose her hands and face. However, it is ultimately better that she covers her face, too, for the 'Ulema have ruled that in times of corruption a woman should not even expose her face. The features of the face inevitably attract the looks and attentions of men. (Raddul Muhtaar V26 P398)
