    A woman should cover her entire body except her face, palms and feet, the matter of treatment is exceptional:

    والذمیۃ کالرجل الاجنبی، قال تعالی: او نسائھن ای الحرائر المسلمات الخ و قال وعبدھا کالاجنبی معھا فینظر لوجھھا و کفیھا فقط (الدر المختار: 531، 534، وکذا فی بیان القرآن للتھانوی)

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
