Should wife cover her face/hands when going out & in front of brothers?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Aslam o Alaikum I am about to marry and i want my wife to wear veil and she is willing too. there is some confusion about feww things is face and hands should be covered when she goes out because in many fatwas or speechs of zakir naik it is said that hands and face is free from hijab.it is not necesary to cover them when woman goes out we (brothers) live in one house whether should cover satr or do hijab infront of my brothers.

Answer

(Fatwa: 1722/1327=H/1429)

It is necessary to cover hand and face when outside, likewise before the mahram men. These rulings are proved from the Quran and Hadith. It is not necessary to be in hijab while inside house, yes she should observe veil before the adult brothers of yours.
