Fathwa, - Can women uncover their neck?

Question:
Can women uncover their neck?
Answer:
Assalamu alaykum
A woman is obliged to cover everything but her face, hands and feet,
although it is more precautionary for her to cover her feet as well
due to the scholarly difference regarding the permissibility of
showing them. What is intended by �face� here is the same as is
intended by �face� in the ritual ablution. The face extends from the
normal hairline to the bottom of the chin and from earlobe to earlobe
in width. A woman is therefore not permitted to show her ears nor her
neck. [al-Hadiyya al-`Ala�iyya]
