Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it disliked for a man to pray with his head uncovered?

Answer:
No, it is not taken [as a defect], but adorning oneself for prayer is required. Allah the Exalted said:
O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjidيَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ
[Al-A'raf 7:31]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Adornment is something in addition to covering the 'awrah; it is something in addition to covering the 'awrah. Covering the 'awrah is necessary; it is a condition for the validity of the prayer. As for adorning oneself for prayer, that is recommended. Yes.
