We said that if the one who prays wears a single garment, covering the upper part of the body is recommended, and we did not say it is obligatory?

The questioner : If the garment is wide, then covering the upper part of the body is recommended.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : We did not say it is obligatory.
The Shaykh : How did we not say it is obligatory? Yes, because the obligatory part is between the navel and the knee. Yes.
