Is it obligatory for women to cover their faces when wearing burka according to Islamic standards?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Asalamu alaikum Hazarath, We practice bhurka as clothing, my friend says it not compulsory to wear nose piece (Nikab) to cover the face, is it ok if our family members wear bhurka alone or we should cover the face.

Answer

(Fatwa: 362/193/D=1432)

It is necessary to cover the face from non-mahram as well, though by nosepiece or chuddar. But since there is more satr in using nosepiece and less chance of falling, hence it is better.
