Women covering the chin and forehead

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Kindly explain the satr of a female in detail… does the forehead have to be completely covered and where does the chin end? Some women insist that the burqa must cover the tip of the chin downwards or else salaah is not accepted. Please clarify.

Bismillaah

A: In the presence of strangers it should be covered.

We have not come across this.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
