Adornment at every mosque and wearing the vest and trousers in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does wearing the full attire count as taking on adornment at every mosque, or is wearing the vest and trousers sufficient for prayer, and which is better?

Answer:
No, it is the full adornment. Is the vest and trousers not considered adornment? It is the full adornment. They even say that it is recommended for him to cover his head with the turban or the shemagh. He does not pray the obligatory prayer without this, because this is more complete and better. It is the most complete form, and the ultimate goal is to fulfill the condition so that the prayer is valid in the religion and the obligatory is performed. But the most complete and best is that he does not limit himself to that; he wears the thobe, he wears the shemagh, and he adorns himself for the prayer. The Shaykh al-Islam said that adornment is an amount exceeding the covering of the 'awrah.
