1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from ‘Is ibn al-Qasim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman in the state of Ihram can wear whatever she wants of clothes except silk and al-Quffazayn (something women wear on their hands) and wearing veil is undesirable.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They must hang something over their face.’ He asked, ‘How far down over the face?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It should be down over the nose so that she can see without her eyes being blocked.’”
