Question
Which hair on a woman's head is completely forbidden to be seen, and which is a measure of piety (what is the ruling regarding hair that is visible when the scarf is placed above the ear)?

Hello,
A. All hair on a woman's head is forbidden to be seen. Hair that grows on the temples or the nape, and is noticeably growing separately and not part of the main hair, is permitted by law, but it is customary to be stringent.
B. Generally, in such a manner, the woman's hair growing above the ear is exposed, and it must be covered.
