Answer

(Fatwa: 1777/1416/L=1430)

If a young lady comes in front of ghair mahram with open face there is fear of fitnah, hence it is necessary for her to cover her face.

قال في الدر المختار: و تمنع المرأة الشابة من كشف الوجه بين الرجال لا لأنه عورة بل لخوف الفتنة و في الشامي: و المعنى تمنع من الكشف لخوف أن يرى الرجال وجهها فتقع الفتنة لأنه مع الكشف قد يقع النظر إليها بشهوة (الدر المختار مع الشامي :2/79 ، ط زكريا ديوبند)
