Question: A new fashion that has emerged is that some Muslim females are wearing a new turban style scarf, is this permissible? 

Answer: It is mandatory for a lady to cover her face when she leaves her house or is in presence of strange men. The female turban leaves the neck and face exposed, hence it is not permissible.

Allah Ta’aala says in the Qur’aan:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا (سورة الأحزاب 59)

“O Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), command your wives, daughters and the believing women to don the niqaab(veil)”.

And Allah Knows Best
