Is it obligatory for the imam and the ma'mum to cover their heads in prayer?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the imam covering his head, and likewise the ma'mum covering their heads in prayer? Is it obligatory?

Answer:
This is more beautiful. Yes, this is part of beauty and adornment. Adornment in prayer is of two types: obligatory adornment, which is covering the 'awrah, and recommended adornment, which is beautifying oneself for prayer. Covering the head is among this, if it is the custom of the country to cover the head with a ghutrah, a samak, or a turban. He covers it; this is part of beauty. Yes.
