Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face while performing Umrah(minor Hajj)?

Answer:

The woman who is in a state of Ihram(ritual consecration) should uncover her face and hands, but it is permissible for her to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her.

This answer was collected from the official government Iftaa Department of Jordan.
