The face is the front of an animal's head that features three of the head's sense organs, the eyes, nose, and mouth, and through which animals express many of their emotions. The face is crucial for human identity, and damage such as scarring or developmental deformities affects the psyche adversely.

No. It is not permissible to display or sell a picture of a female exposing her hair and with make up on her face.

Such picture will promote wrong attitude against women which is used by the sinners who look at the female a source of sexual amusement. Woman is much higher and more noble than to be used as a piece of artwork.

Face . Du'a (Supplication)

What is the significance of wiping our hands over our face after reciting Surat al-Fateha or Duas?

We have narrations from Ahlul Bayt (AS) stating that it is recommended after Du's to wipe your hands on your face. Your hands seeking from Allah in Du'a will never be empty from the gifts and bounties of Allah. Wiping on your face will make your face blessed as well. This is not during Salah.

We don't have any authentic evidence on wiping hand after reciting Sura Al-Fatiha. Some people do it just because it is been done by Sunni brothers who read Sura Al-Fatiha like a Du'a. It has no authentic evidence neither in our books nor in Sunni books.

Face . Hair . Feet . Nose . Wudu (Ablution) . Meaning . Salah (Prayers)

I think I have been doing Wudhu wrong all along. I have only been washing my face, arms, hair and feet, but not the nose or mouth. Does this mean my prayers have not been valid?

Neither washing nose is obligatory in Wudhu nor washing mouth. Both of them are just recommended and not obligatory. Washing head or feet in Wudhu is wrong because you should wipe over them and not wash them.

If you are sure that your Wudhu was invalid, you need to perform it properly and re do the prayers which were done with wrong Wudhu.
