No it is not mandatory. It is neither required nor forbidden, per Islam religion .

It is a matter of local community traditions and practices. However, it is mandatory for women to wear hijab that covers head, hair, and neck (but not face and hands).

Does anyone ever see a Muslims face?

Almost no Muslim men cover their faces. (If they do, it is for non-religious reasons such as putting on a mask to hide one's identity, etc.) Most Muslim women do show their face, either by wearing no headscarf or by wearing a hijaab or abaya/chador which leaves the entire face exposed. As concerns Muslim women who cover their faces in public, they will relax the covering in front of a group of all women or in front of men who are their close relations and thus unsuitable for marriage. I, as a non-Muslim, have seen Muslim faces.


Do all Arab women cover their faces?
