Q: I am going to university, boys and girls both are coming there. Actually I am wearing burqa and I want to cover my face. But because of long time like 7 hours, it seems difficult for me. In that case can I open my face only? May I open my face at lunch time in the canteen? I am taking my lunch with girls only.
A: The environment in itself is not at all conducive for any Muslim and it is even worse for a Muslim woman. What a shameful environment it is and deplorable to be in such a surrounding.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
