Is a woman`s face an Awrah (a private part) that should be covered?

Answer:

During prayer, a woman`s whole body is a private part except the hands and the face. Outside the time of prayer, scholars agree that a woman should put on her Islamic wear to avoid temptation.

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