Question:
This person is asking about those who wear sleepwear and come to the mosque.
Answer:
A Muslim should adorn himself for the mosque and prayer; he should wear clothes of adornment, not sleepwear or shabby clothes. Rather, he should adorn himself for the mosque[Al-A'raf 7:31]. The minimum requirement is covering the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), and anything beyond that is part of beauty. Beauty is sought, for Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. If you were to go to a gathering of people, would you go in your sleepwear? If you want to go to a gathering, you wear your best clothes. So how do you come to the mosque, which is the gathering place of the angels and the gathering place of the righteous servants of Allah, when you are facing Allah the Exalted and standing before Him? How do you not prepare yourself with good preparation for this gathering?

O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid
