Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is covering the 'awrah in seclusion and in the dark obligatory or recommended?
Answer:
It is obligatory, based on the general ruling regarding covering the 'awrah. That is to say, if you prayed naked while in the dark, your prayer would be valid. No one says that. No one says, or if you entered a tree where no one was present, you undressed and prayed, no one says your prayer is valid. Yes.
