Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is covering the head in prayer part of the Sunnah? And is it considered wrong for one who does not cover his head in it?

Answer:
Yes, adorning oneself for prayer is required
take your adornment at every masjidخُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ
[Al-A'raf 7:31]
in every prayer. By adornment, we mean covering the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and we mean, as Shaykh al-Islam said, something broader than that, which is adorning the body, because you are standing before your Lord, so you should be in the best appearance and the best form. Yes.
