The question

Is it permissible to look at the face of a non-mahram woman if she has uncovered the area between her chin and her neck, provided that there is no fear of fitna (temptation) or lust, especially with neighbors and relatives, knowing that looking at her face is permissible if there is no fear of fitna or lust?

The answer

The area between a woman's chin and her neck is considered 'awrah (private, a part that must be covered). It is obligatory to cover it, and it is not permissible to look at it, even without lust. If one's gaze unintentionally falls upon 'awrah, they must immediately avert their gaze. Lowering one's gaze protects the private parts and rectifies the heart.
