Wearing turbans in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The tenth question of Fatwa No. ( 21672 )
Q 10: Some of the worshippers wear a turban on their heads, and some wear only a skullcap, and many pray with their heads uncovered—I mean the men—which of them is better in reward? Please inform us with evidence. May Allah reward you with good.
A 10: It is recommended for the worshipper to be wearing complete, covering, and beautiful clothing during his prayer, and this includes a head covering; because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) encouraged His servants to adorn themselves in prayer, so He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-A'raf 7:31] the verse. And it is not established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with his head uncovered; rather, he was consistent in wearing a turban, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ
